I don't think you've provided enough information for a definitive
answer, so what I can tell you in general is, fvwm uses the round
cursor to indicate that it wants you to click somewhere.

For example, if you select "resize" from a pull down menu on the root,
it doesn't know which window you want to resize. It changes the
cursor to a round dot until you click on a window.
