You're not mangling the CLASS, you're mangling the NAME. By default,
X uses the name of the excutable as NAME. Thus, try cp xterm bla,
then call bla and you'll see that it's still got XTerm as class but
now bla as name.

You could use the same NAME for all of them so that you only have one
entry in .fvwm2rc.

I admit that this is less than perfect.
