Hi!

    First, the package is named "fvwm", not "fvwm2", which prevents
it from being a drop-in replacement for RedHat's RPM.  It "-provides"
the "fvwm" capability, which is a bit wrong, since there's no "fvwm"
binary inside.  Additionaly, some people still use fvwm-1.24, and
naming the current version simply "fvwm" will confuse them (since
recommended "rpm -Uvh" will remove fvwm-1).

    Is it possible to rename the package to fvwm2?  (Yes, fvwm2-2.4
looks a bit weird, but it is an existing practice).

    Second, the fvwm-2.4.0-2.rh7.rpm doesn't include any config files
in proper places, so that when a freshly installed fvwm2 is run, it
complains:

[FVWM][main]: <<ERROR>> Cannot read startup file, tried:
        /export/viper/rabbit/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc
        /export/viper/rabbit/.fvwm2rc
        /usr/share/fvwm/.fvwm2rc
        /usr/share/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc
        /usr/etc/system.fvwm2rc

    BTW, it should also try /etc/X11/system.fvwm2rc and/or
/etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc (see FHS section 3.7.5.2).

    If nobody else bothers, I can make appropriate patch for spec
file.
