Thanks a lot, i had looked at font-lock-defaults but apparently not hard
enough...

So I tried this:
(set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults) '(fvwm-font-lock-keywords
nil fvwm-keywords-ignore-case))
But that apparently didn't  work, I wonder why?

I now use this, which does work though, but the above solution would be
cleaner imho...

  (if fvwm-keywords-ignore-case
      (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults) '(fvwm-font-lock-keywords))
    (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
    '(fvwm-font-lock-keywords nil t)))

Cheers
