I just realised that I've made the conflicts between fvwm and fvwm2 worse
and neglected to mention it.. :-(

Right from day one, the two ports overwrote each other's files, and
uninstalling one would leave the other one non-functional.

I gave up trying to get them to co-exist peacefully.

fvwm2 isn't exactly a smooth product (it's got quite a few bugs, which is
no real suprise since it's a beta still).

Is there a "preferred" way of saying to not install the two versions
at once on the same machine?  (like the different versions of tcl/tk
which overwrite include files like /usr/local/include/tk.h etc)

(or should I try a bit harder to make them coexist, for what it's worth)

-Peter
