What are the modifiers on your mouse definitions?
I am using A, which means that wether the num lock is up or down, it works
the
same. Here is the section defining mouse clicks on the root window
(context R)
from my .fvwm2rc:

############################################################################

# MOUSE Setup
#
# First, the root window. Button 1 brings up the Main Menu. B2 is the
# window operations list, and B3 is the winlist module
# Button Context Modifi Function
Mouse 1 R A Menu RootMenu Nop
Mouse 2 R A Menu Window-Ops Nop
Mouse 3 R A WindowList UseIconName NoGeometry

This causes the function to be called regardless of the modifier (CTRL,
Shift,
NumLock, etc). If you have seperate function for shift-button1, and
button1
without a modifier, just make 2 entries for each function. One would have
just
the modifier you want (like C for ctrl), the other would have the modifier
and
3 (like C3).
Look at another section for keys that I use:

############################################################################

# KEYBOARD Setup
#
# press arrow + control anywhere, and scroll by 1 page
Key Left A C Scroll -100 +0
Key Right A C Scroll +100 +0
Key Up A C Scroll +0 -100
Key Down A C Scroll +0 +100
Key Left A C3 Scroll -100 +0
Key Right A C3 Scroll +100 +0
Key Up A C3 Scroll +0 -100
Key Down A C3 Scroll +0 +100

This is used to scroll to other pages within a desktop. The 'duplicate'
definitions allow the same functionality in the event the NumLock is on.
