Try adding:

Style "*" Lenience

to your .fvwm2rc. From the man page:

          Lenience instructs fvwm to ignore the convention in the
          ICCCM which states that if an application sets the
          input field of the wm_hints structure to False, then it
          never wants the window manager to give it the input
          focus. The only application that I know of which needs
          this is sxpm, and that is a silly bug with a trivial
          fix and has no overall effect on the program anyway.
          Rumor is that some older applications have problems
          too.
