I have delved deep into the fvwm-crystal syntax for configuration purposes and am building my own recepie. The trouble is, I cant quite grasp the syntax so far. I am also looking for documentation on the key bindings syntax. Anyone got any idea where to start?

Have a look at some standard FVWM help files or manuals. FVWM-Crystal is basically FVWM with a few standard layouts or recipes.

I've found this page (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1236) very helpful and have learned a lot from the FVWM Manual (http://www.fvwm.org/doc/unstable/index.html).

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1236 is pretty out of date. Fvwm goes all the way back to the early 1990s (though it is still actively developed).

I suggest the Fvwm Forums (http://fvwm.lair.be/) and the Fvwm Wiki (which seems to be perpetually down).
