So you only see what happens in FvwmConsole (can I ask you to name
FvwmConsole as FvwmConsole and not console?).
The error "execution of module /home/jos/nonexistingmodule failed"
appears in the same place you have all X output (including FvwmDebug).

Not quite. If it works from the command line, the problem should be
in the communication code, but if you say FvwmDebug works, I don't know.
Is it possible that only GTK based modules do not work?
Please continue to debug the problem and find where your errors are.
