It would be nice if you could summon the energy and desire to finish
this. With the big desktops hurtling mindlessly towards ever more
unusable interfaces now is the time for a sensible and infinitely
customisable UI like FVWM to shine.

I understand all too well that people have lives to live but 40 minutes
a day for a couple of weeks would see you finish this quite nicely. It
would mean a lot to people who are intimidated by FVWM.

As I say, now is the time for FVWM to shine and to capture some of those
abandoning the crazy new desktops. People are out there who have an
interest in FVWM but need a leg up before they can fully appreciate its
technical excellence and flexibility. To those of you withholding
yourselves or withdrawing from the project - think again. A lot of work
has gone into this window manager and it would be a shame to let it fade
into the sunset just now when so many other GUIs are driving people away.
