Udo - many thanks for the reply. My problem is this:- As I said earlier, I have read the docs, as well as the manpages! What the doc about the system file says explicitly is that one should NOT do what you are recommending, but instead to add user customizations via hooks in the ~/.fvwm directory. Then the packaging system can update menus and the system .fvwm2rc if it so wishes without codging up your customisations. That principle I understand! There are examples of the various hook files, but they are rather brief and the explanations are somewhat terse, so I am still a little hazy about which sections of my customisations belong under which hook. Most can clearly go into the post.hook. So I asked for a few further examples. Still hoping!! Sorry for not being clearer.
