What version of fvwm are you running?

Fvwm can't seem to find any of your images.
Have you downloaded the icons package?
Have you set the ImagePath to point to the directory containing the icons?

This looks like Fvwm might be having a problem understanding backslashes.
Do you have a style command that looks like:
Style * xxxx \
StaysOnTop
Is there a space after the backslash (there shouldn't be one).
On your issue with shutdown, stopping Fvwm doesn't have to stop
X. If you want that to happen, the command to execute fvwm should
be the last commmand in your .xinitrc and there should be no ampersand
after the command.
