FVWM 2.5.28 released

I first started using FVWM because mwm wasn't available for linux at the time, and it was the next best thing. I didn't much like it initially. I hated the config file, compared to mwm's resource based config. But it just kept on getting better and better, and I now feel horribly handicapped every time I have to use a machine running kwm/metacity/compiz etc. FVWM remains my favoured desktop environment, even today.

It's just a shame that rejigging it to double-buffer (and thus to support
compositing) is so much work that nobody's even considered it.

I keep meaning to switch to something else, but dammit my ancient fvwm
config Just Works and is wired into my brain.
