The issue is not that fvwm-themes might use Gnome but that the fvwm2 it
relies on uses it. I suppose a better message would be:
"fvwm-themes requires that fvwm2 (or fvw2-devel) be built
WITHOUT_GNOME. If you have installed fvwm2 subsequent to installing
Gnome, and WITHOUT_GNOME was not specified when installing fvwm2,
please deinstall fvwm2 and reinstall it WITHOUT_GNOME."
