Already in cvs. As usually rerun the automake and so on procedure.

Andrei, consider to translate *.html and rpm/fvwm-themes*.spec.in .

Did you read the links I have sent you that solve this problem using
ROOT_PREFIX?

  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
  make prefix=/path/to/debian/fvwm-themes-x.x.x/usr ROOT_PREFIX=/path/to/debian/fvwm-themes-x.x.x

If you want to install something in other directories (like /etc),
you should use a trick that you may find in our mail archives.
But I suggest to install everything only in /usr, so these 3 commands
above are ok.

Mikhael.
