These errors are to be expected, as I don't have any of these in my own
fvwmrc ;)

I'm looking at some of the config files from fvwm-themes, and everything
is slowly getting better and more accurate.

Question: For variables, can they be uppercase as well? like $C or
$[FOO]. I'm not sure on this. The manpage doesn't say they can't, but as
far as I can see, it doesn't show any that are.

Thanks, it's getting better. Just wait until it's finished ;)
