This is ok.

You should see "No such command 'DeskTopScale'" error, don't you?
The correct syntax for 2.2.5 is:
*FvwmPagerDeskTopScale 32
> Module FvwmPager * *
Running a module before defining its configuration is not good.
Modules should be started from StartFunction (works in 2.2.5).

This is an old configuration of fvwm version 1. If you leave it as is, you
should see at least 3 errors on your standard error stream, don't you?
No such command 'EndFunction'
/bin/sh: "I": command not found
No such command 'EndFunction'
You should also get 3 pagers running, don't you?
The correct syntax is:
AddToFunc InitFunction
+ I Module FvwmPager * *
+ I Exec xsetroot -solid blue3
AddToFunc RestartFunction
+ I Module FvwmPager * *
+ I Exec xsetroot -solid Green
or just:
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Module FvwmPager * *
+ I Exec xsetroot -solid darkcyan
