I installed the "yum" version, and still have the same problems.  My userid
doesn't
save history (though your trick works around it), root doesn't even execute
its
.login or .cshrc - but does seem to execute commands that are
in .bashrc :-(

There is a fairly active fvwm forum, and ongoing development: fvwm.lair.be

I can't really relate to the "dinosaur" comment.  I think it's a different
attitude.  To me the computer is a tool with which I do certain things,
not an end in itself, so I don't need/want decoration.
