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?

Cheers
Michael
