And I should hope not. Fvwm is a window manager, not a desktop
environment. If you want to be able to drag and drop (which implies the
use of some file manager to do it) see "rox" [1]. That uses a
'pinboard' on the root-window which allows you to drop things to it.
The program 'dfm' also allows for this.
