Fvwm would have to copy stdin to a file so that it could be
reread. Unless the file was an XPM.

You can get Fvwm to try png first:

home> ln -s /dev/stdin /tmp/y.png
home> cat x.png /dev/stdout | fvwm-root -r /tmp/y.png
libpng error: Not a PNG file
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

As you can see, that doesn't help.
An strace reveals libpng trying to do an lseek
and getting Illegal Seek.
