Actually, I did look at FVWM long time ago, and I also think the config syntax looks weird.

Long time ago I've actually programmed in scheme a bit, and I do use emacs, but I never really programmed a lot in (a) lisp. Emacs-lisp en rep-lisp are lisps, but it seems each has their own set of pecularities. Ruben -- Sawfish ML
