Hm, I cannot get preprocessing to work. Here are the relevant lines from my
.xinitrc:

    WINDOWMANAGER='/home/felix/local/bin/fvwm -cmd "Module FvwmPerl -p
/home/felix/.fvwm2rc"'
    exec $WINDOWMANAGER 2> ~/local/var/log/windowmanager.log

But when starting FVWM I always get

    [FVWM][__execute_function]: <<ERROR>> No such command '%{'
    [FVWM][__execute_function]: <<ERROR>> No such command '}%'

BTW, could you add a section in the FvwmPerl man page that describes the
configuratin neccessary for preprocessing and possibly more (sorry if it's
already there, but I couldn't find it). This would simplify things a lot
for beginners like me.

Another question: When I restart FVWM with Restart is .fvwm2rc then
repreprocessed?
