FvwmForm in not going away. No way.
I downloaded fvwm-themes and did this:

home> rpm -q --filesbypkg -p fvwm-2.5.5-1.i386.rpm | grep FvwmForm
fvwm /usr/libexec/fvwm/2.5.5/FvwmForm

So, FvwmForm is in /usr/libexec/fvwm/2.5.5

You shouldn't need to know that. If you don't set the ModulePath,
Fvwm should find it.
