This is wrong.

You're exactly right, it _is_ the start of FvwmCpp.
>From the fvwm2(1) man page:
-f config_file
Causes fvwm to Read config_file instead of ".fvwm2rc" as its ini-
tialization file. This is equivalent to -cmd "Read config_file".
So, you're giving fvwm2 a config file of "FvwmCpp", which is a binary.
Surprising that it finds it, actually :). The right way to do this,
again from the fvwm2 man page, is:
M4 PREPROCESSING
M4 pre-processing is handled by a module in fvwm-2.0. To get more
details, try man FvwmM4. In short, if you want fvwm to parse your
files with m4, then replace the word "Read" with "FvwmM4" in your
.fvwm2rc file (if it appears at all), and start fvwm2 with the command
fvwm2 -cmd "FvwmM4 .fvwm2rc"
------------------^^^^
CPP PREPROCESSING
Cpp is the C-language pre-processor. fvwm-2.0 offers cpp processing
which mirrors the m4 pre-processing. To find out about it, re-read
the M4 section above, but replace "m4" with "cpp".
