You have fvwm2 installed, but you aren't running it.  By default, X uses
twm as the window manager if you don't run one yourself.  If you are using
startx, then create a .xinitrc file containing the following:

---------8<---------
#!/bin/sh

exec fvwm2
---------8<---------

If you are using xdm, then put that in .xession in your home directory
instead.
