The problem comes from a difference in the environnement seen by the fvwm
process and all child. Quite often we execute xterm with the -ls option,
forcing a read of .profile (or whatever your shell is using).
I have experienced difference between using "startx" on Linux for example
and starting using xdm. Ultimatly, some PATH may not be setuped properly
for fvwm.
