Oh.. OK.. I imagine that will be reflected in Debian sometime around 
2020 AD.

We're using fvwm exactly as it comes "out of the box" with Debian 
"Woody".   Sadly enough our main goal is to make it look as much like 
Windows 2000 as possible (sober, familiar, business like is the order of 
the day).  Until this year we had been using the full-on Digital Unix 
red motif styleee that we all know and love ;-)
