I suppose you have successfully installed fvwm?  First I would 
reccommend using fvwm2 and be sure to check your .fvwm2rc file to be 
sure thats not the problem.  I had a similiar problem going from twm 
to ctwm... I ended up rebuilding (and customizing) the .xinitrc file. 
 If you need any help with that just let me know..
