Or could it be as simple as he doesn't have tcsh installed. The default menu
of fvwm starts tcsh instead of just your default shell.
Edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc somewhere around line 363:
from:
Exec "Xterm" exec xterm -e tcsh &
to:
Exec "Xterm" exec xterm &

"My other major appointee will be Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf. I realize that,
by putting this man in my administration, I run the risk of becoming wildly
popular, but that's a risk I am willing to take. He'll be in charge of
battling a domestic scourge that is every bit as much of a threat to this
nation as any foreign power. That's right: I'm going to place him in charge
of the War On Light Beer. As Light Beer Czar, Gen. Schwarzkopf will have a
two-pronged mission, which is to find out (1) who is making this stuff, and
(2) what happens to their breweries when you drop bombs on them."
