I built and have been using fvwm-2.5.14 on my amd64 system (an em64t pentium4) and it is working great. Perhaps ~amd64 should be added to its keywords. The current latest stable fvwm (2.5.12) actually has some problems on amd64 systems that have been fixed in 2.5.14, so it would be nice to get this marked stable.

We cannot mark stable until the maintainer mark stable in his arch. So it's better to add this package to your package.keywords and wait for the maintainer stablize this package.
