Perhaps you really want to issue "Close", "Delete" or "Destroy"?

If you are trying to generate a keystroke for an xterm, the
xterm won't accept a synthetic keystroke unless you've
selected "allow sendevents". (Its a security hole to allow it.)

Do some Google searches on "xwindows synthetic".
The first hit I got discussed the issues in the context of
a security exploit. It also mentioned some programs.

As far as I know, Fvwm doesn't have a command to generate keystrokes.
