This is my .fvwm2rc configuration file which I use, with fvwm2, for my home desktop. To use, copy over ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc Then, if fvwm2 is open, refresh fvwm2. the wallpaper.sh script is the script I use to mess with my wallpaper. I have it reside in a folder I created called ~/.scripts/ where I place all my custom scripts. This script is called by the .fvwm2rc script, assuming it exists.
