If the user wants to do more then one action, like

Exec xset s blank ; xset s activate ; xlock ; xset s noblank

If you don't have anything like that you could try
doing:

ExecUseShell sh exec

I'm not sure if it would work, because I'm not sure if fvwm will
look for a shell named sh space exec, or for a shell called sh
and pass it exec and whatever comes on the Exec line.
