Agreed, but don't forget the other side of the coin: if you're going to provide
a nice snapshot, PLEASE provide the .fvwm2rc (or just the key bits of it to get
most of the look)! There's nothing more frustrating then seeing a tantalizing
screenshot and then spending hours trying to get anywhere close. The implied
"here's what to aim for; here's the man page; go to it", although theoretically
sound, practically *really* sucks. Fvwm is one of the most configurable window
managers out there, but this carries a price: configuring it takes longer (for
a general user), as there is so many things to tweak and tune.
