I fixed my profile path and that seems to be working fine. Now it seems that the configuration file that was used in 2.0.42 does not exactly work in 2.2.4.

In example:

I had a logout button that you could click on and it would ask for confirmation, if you clicked on yes, it logged you out (exited fvwm2). It also had a little map of the desks that you could click on and it would change virtual desktops. They work under 2.0.42, but not 2.2.4.

I have never really programmed the fvwm2rc file and don't really know how this is fixed, (whether they are modules, functions, etc). Does anyone know if these are built in functions that aren't working or some module or something?
