The Cygwin version of fvwm2 appears to be configured slightly
differently from the default. The appropriate directories for
system.fvwm2rc are
${datadir}/fvwm --> /usr/X11R6/share/fvwm
and
${sysconfdir} --> /etc (why not /usr/local/etc or even
/etc/X11?)
As a possible alternative to supplying this default configuration file,
what about installing fwwm-icons along with a configuration
pre-generated by FvwmScript-Setup95?
