I don't think I understand the question.

Are you trying to say fvwm isn't reading $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc?

If you use a command line like this to start fvwm:

fvwm -f /tmp/config

Then thats the only config file fvwm will look for during startup.

Recent beta releases prefer to read $HOME/.fvwm/config.

Find out the release of fvwm, find out the command line
used to start fvwm then if you still have questions,
ask again.
