   but you don't have to use _all_ the modules, that's why they are in 
modules, because they not neccessary (IIRC I only use FvwmAuto, 
FvwmPager, sometime FvwmButtons)

   fvwm is very configurable, you can bring your machine to it's knees 
by  dynamic menus, FvwmEvents (programmable actions based on WM events 
like new window or resize etc.), changing backgrounds when changing 
virtual screens etc. you don't have to though:-) and lot of 
functionality that you don't use is not even loaded (because it's in 
modules).
