>Description:
		This adds fvwm2 to x11-wm page. In my opinion this was
		definitely missing. When there is some content about gnome,
		kde and xfce, there should also be some content about the
		'mother of window managers & desktop environments'.
		If appreciated i could add some text about blackbox and its
		offsprings.
