Putting It All Together
To put all this together, the following is our .fvwmrc file. You can use this as a base for your modifications. We don’t expect you to type this in. Instead, we provide it as a source of ideas and information for configuring fvwm to your liking. The only lines we changed—and there are only a few—are marked in italic type.

# Set up the major operating modes
#
####### FOCUS STUFF ########
# Set windows to autoraise after 750
# milliseconds if you like it.
# Autoraise can sometimes obscure pop-up
# windows. Performance is now
# similar to olvwm's auto-raise feature.
#AutoRaise 750
# Normally, we'll be in focus-followsmouse
# mode, but uncomment this
# for mwm-style click-to-focus
#ClickToFocus
####### ICON STUFF #########
# Auto Place Icons is a nice feature....
# This creates two icon boxes, one on the
# left side, then one on the
# bottom. Leaves room in the upper left
# for my clock and xbiff,
# room on the bottom for the Pager.
#IconBox -150 90 -5 -140
#IconBox 5 -140 -140 -5
#IconBox -70 1 -1 -140
IconBox 130 5 600 15
# If you uncomment this, and make sure
# that the WindowList is bound to
# something, it works pretty much
# like an icon manager.
#SuppressIcons
# StubbornIcons makes icons de-iconify into
# their original position on the
# desktop, instead of on the current page.
#StubbornIcons
# With AutoPlacement, icons will normally
# place themselves underneath active
# windows. This option changes that.
StubbornIconPlacement
# If you want ALL you icons to follow you around
# the desktop (Sticky), try this
#StickyIcons
###### MWM EMULATION #######
#
# My feeling is that everyone should use
# MWMDecorHints and MWMFunctionHints,
# since some applications depend on having
# the window manager respect them.
# MWMFunction hints parses the function
# information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
# property, and prohibits use of these
# functions on the window. Appropriate
# portions of the window decorations are removed.
MWMFunctionHints
# MWM is kinda picky about what can be done
# to transients, and it was keeping
# me from iconifying some windows that I
# like to iconify, so here's an
# over-ride that will allow me to do the
# operation, even tough the menu
# item is shaded out.
MWMHintOverride
# MWMDecor hints parses the decoration
# information in the MOTIF_WM_HINTS
# property, and removes these decoratons
# from the window. This does not affect
# the functions that can be performed via the menus.
MWMDecorHints
# These are affect minor aspects for the
# look-and-feel.
# Sub-menus placement mwm-style?
MWMMenus
# mwm-style border reliefs (less deep
# than default fvwm) ?
# MWMBorders
# Maximize button does mwm-inversion thingy
# MWMButtons
### MISCELLANEOUS STUFF ####
# If you don't like the default 150 msec click delay
# for the complex functions
# change this and uncomment it.
#ClickTime 150
# OpaqueMove has a number (N) attached
# to it (default 5).
# if the window occupies less than
# N% of the screen,
# then opaque move is used. 0 <= N <= 100
OpaqueMove 100
# flip by whole pages on the edge of the screen.
#EdgeScroll 100 100
# A modest delay before flipping pages seems
# to be nice...
# I thresh in a 50 pixel Move-resistance too,
# just so people
# can try it out.
#EdgeResistance 250 50
# I like to use a large virtual screen and move
# from page to page with the
# pager.
#EdgeResistance 10000 0
#### WINDOW PLACEMENT ######
# RandomPlacement prevents user interaction
# while placing windows:
# Make windows appear without requiring user
# interaction to place them.
RandomPlacement
# SmartPlacement makes new windows pop-up
# in blank regions of screen
# if possible, or falls back to random
# or interactive placement.
#SmartPlacement
# With SmartPlacement, windows will normally
# place themselves over icons.
# Uncomment this to change that.
#StubbornPlacement
# NoPPosition instructs fvwm to ignore
# the PPosition field in window
# geometry hints. Emacs annoyingly sets
# PPosition to (0,0)!
#NoPPosition
######### DECORATIONS ######
# If you want decorated transient windows,
# uncomment this:
# Ensure that a title-bar appears on dialogs.
DecorateTransients
