>Description:
This adds fvwm2 to x11-wm page. In my opinion this was
definitely missing. When there is some content about gnome,
kde and xfce, there should also be some content about the
'mother of window managers & desktop environments'.
If appreciated i could add some text about blackbox and its
offsprings.
