Hi, I use fvwm2 exclusively. I start everything in an xterm that is
not on the menu. I even have a custom background screen
which is set by 1 line in fvwm2.rc file.

Simplicity is EASY. What complicates things are all the different
desktops. They are pretty, but they complicate things and
cause problems.
I think it would be easier for me to show a new user how to
right click on the desktop, create a new xterm, type in the program
they want, then hit <alt-F4> to minimize the xterm.

It never locks up.
