For symptoms check your error log, which may be called xdm-errors. If
you can't find it, alter your startup file (.xsession or whatever) to
send the messages to a known place.
fvwm2 > ~/fvwm2.log 2>&1
Alternatively at the start of .xsession.
exec > ~/xsession.log 2>&1
A common cause of programs running from the command line but not under
a window manager is lack of environment variables. I find it useful
to be able to dump fvwm's environment with a entry in the Quit-Verify
menu in .fvwm2rc.
+ "Dump environment" Exec set > $HOME/fvwm.env
This can be compared against "set" run from the command line.
