Finally I located the .fvwmrc.system in /etc and found the same
info. But somehow it doesn't recognise the middle button click
generated by press both buttons simultaneous (I am using a 2 
button MS mouse). What is wrong here?

BTW, I've assigned "Move" to Alt-right drag and solved the original
problem. Thanks.

What about X? Currently I use the brute force method of Alt-Cltr-Backspace.
Any better way?

Thanks for the info. As I said I am currently using the SVGA driver.
I am trying to set it to work in 800x600 mode but obviously the
monitor parameters (bandwidth, horzsync, vertrefresh) are incorrect
and as a result the desktop is not centered on the screen. I am using
a 14" monitor called SHAMROCK. Any idea on how to fix the problem?
Is it possible to let XFree86 to detect the monitor parameters for
me?

MANPATH is *not* defined on my computer but man still works. Any 
idea why?
