Steve-

After reading your messages, I tried to setup fvwm2 under gnu-win32, it
compiled without any major problems, I also compiled and installed pixmap...
fvwm2 works fine except I get the message (at the beginning) :
[FVWM][executeModule]: <<ERROR>> No such module 'PixmapPath' in ModulePath
'/usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/fvwm2'
and I don't get these nice buttons on the fvwm2 buttonbar...

I found out that the pixmap distribution does not include any .pm files....
Where can I get some pm files to be used for buttons ?
Where can I get some nice fvwm2rc examples ?
