Well, this is the way how i installed it under woody:

* keep the original fvwm package installed, so you still can use the
autogenerated debian-menus, if you like to have it included in one of
your menus:

AddToMenu StartMenu
+ Mozilla exec /opt/mozilla/mozilla

Read /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook


If you do not need this you can deinstall the packeg "fvwm".


* compile the 2.5.x source as described (configure; make)

* do not use "make install" but instead "checkinstall" (needs to be
installed by "apt-get install checkinstall"). Change the name of the
package to somewhat like "fvwm-selfcompiled" to not collide with the
original name "fvwm".

* Pay attention to really start the correct new /usr/local/bin/fvwm.



Works for me.

Gert
