Hi Jeremy.
I will read and comment your message here.
But first I will uninstall Fvwm2. I have been into the directory, where
I installed it, and have executed a make uninstall, but ha dno luck. Can you
help me to get Fvwm2 uninstalled ?.
# make uninstall
make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.
