Can you give me an example of what you mean? Usually you use your .fvwm/config
file and you can optionally source the system-wide stuff from there.

How do I start up services in Fvwm without killing Debian-created configuration
When I create ~.fvwm/config, all the Debian menus go away.
How can I have a config file AND the auto-generated configuration and menus from Debian ... AND preserve my config change when I log out and in again?

You include the debian menu in your local menu someplace, usually.
Try:
'Read /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook'

In Debian, the Fvwm configuration is auto-generated. If I create my
own config file for Fvwm, all the menus generated by Debian go away.
I want to start some services specifically in Fvwm, not in any (or
every) other window manager.
Where (and how) do I start services/daemons in Fvwm without
disabling the Debian-generated Fvwm configuration?

That sounds like a pretty good solution. I will give it a try.
