Dear Herry,


When you do startx or xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc gets called.
This looks for a file .Xclients in your home directory for things to start
up. If it's not there then it uses the default Xclients in /etc/X11/xinit.
The window manager gets started in this default file. It looks for
the file .fvwm2rc.m4 in your home directory - THIS FILE HAS A
DIFFERENT FORMAT TO A .fvwm2rc FILE - it is a script for
creation of a .fvwm2rc file which then gets written to /tmp.

So, you can solve your problem in a number of ways.
(1) Put your own .Xclients in your home directory and explicitly
start the window manager yourself, and have a .fvwm2rc file
in hour home directory as well or
(2) Modify the .m4 files in /etc/X11/TheNextLevel or
(3) Copy across the .m4 files to your home directory and change them
  
I don't know why RH4.2 gives you a yucky visual - I just installed
it on a machine recently and it works OK.

Michael Wouters.
