That's right. I'm running both 8 and 24, but the 8 is the default. And I can't
run 24 as the default, because it breaks older applications (believe me, we've
tried). So that's why I need fvwm to start with 24. An Xresources option would be
nice, or just some code to autoselect.
Maybe it's time for me to remember how to code.... Geez, that's a scary thought.
