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.
