As far as my understanding is, the WM is a special X client that deals in
special ways with the server and root window. This uniqueness allows for
only 1 of such types of apps at once. (if I'm wrong, someone correct me)
You might want to look into Xnest (part of XFree86), which runs a whole new
X server inside an X window. You can run FVWM or whatever else you want
inside this window.
