There are several solutions, which may work depending on how you start the
X System. Try this one:

  % echo "fvwm2" >~/.Xclients

Then start X. If this still starts another WM, do the same with ~/.xinitrc.

When you start FVWM for the first time you may choose "Setup 95" from the
menu. Or compose your own customized ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc. Or install
fvwm-themes rpms and replace a call to "fvwm2" with "fvwm-themes-start".

Regards,
Mikhael.
