I think FvwmGtk is very underestimated, its widget set is very good.
The scriptability of FvwmGtk is not the best though.
I can't find any screenshot of FvwmGtk except for this one:

The man page of FvwmGtk implies that you know how to run this module
(by running Module FvwmGtk with optional alias).
You should also explicetly Read the configuration; unlike FvwmForm and
FvwmScript files are not automatically found and read. So you should do:
Read file-name
Module FvwmGtk alias-name
SendToModule alias-name dialog-name
You used the same name for file, alias and dialog, but this is not
required. So in your case you should do:
Read FvwmGtk-Test
Module FvwmGtk FvwmGtk-Test
SendToModule FvwmGtk-Test FvwmGtk-Test

If you have more questions, I would like to answer.
