FVWM: NUTS! Can't get rsh working.

I'm on Linux, with, I believe, Fvwm2 2.0.45/46, and I can't get the most
basic UNIX networking applet to run:

I start X, start an xterm inside Fvwm2 and then execute manualy:

rsh -l maxwell toronto "/usr/bin/X11/xterm -display maxwax:0.0"

When run on system 'maxwax' It should:
  execute rsh,
    rsh connects to toronto as user maxwell
    run /usr/bin/X1/xterm on toronto
    display a new xterm window on system maxwax's display.

This works fine, but when I attempt to place the same command within my
.fvwm2rc file, it hangs when I execute it.

Switching to another virtual console and performing a 'ps' shows two rsh
processes sitting there. Killing them doesn't do anything, I have to kill
X or ALT-backspace to shut X down and restart.

What am I missing here? I'm performing the same function on my SCO OS504
system at work with it's rcmd instead of 'rsh'--basically the same
thing--without any problems.

ANY suggestions greatly appreciated!
