I think I misinterpreted what the FAQ was getting at.  Here is a suggested
change:

Q. Does fvwm-themes replace my .fvwm2rc?  If not, how does it work?
A. When you use Fvwm-themes fvwm doesn't read the .fvwm2rc file.

When fvwm-themes starts, it reads your configuration from files in
these directories:

  $FVWM_USERDIR/themes/current-main/ - the current theme in the main session
  $FVWM_USERDIR/themes/current - symbolic link to the actual current theme
  $FVWM_USERDIR/themes-rc - the .fvwm2rc equivalent
  $FVWM_USERDIR/themes-rc-2 - additional rc used by themes-rc, symbolic link The rc files themes-rc and themes-rc-2 are created by fvwm-themes-config.

If you still feel the  need to hand edit  a  file, create a  directory
called    $HOME/.fvwm/themes/personal   and   put   your   changes  in
$HOME/.fvwm/themes/personal/startup.


(I wasn't too sure what the FAQ was trying to get at by using and trying
to explain $FVWM_USERDIR, but I don't think new fvwm users would be aware
of FVWM_USERDIR.  In the FAQ it might be better to just call it
$HOME/.fvwm.)
