It seems that you previously ran one of the session managers like xsm
or gnome-session (that started fvwm) and now you run fvwm directly.

There is enough amount of old syntax in your configuration to justify a
clean up (by reading man pages), you may also run fvwm24_convert.

Then remove SessionInitFunction and SessionRestartFunction and replace
them by a single StartFunction that starts all your modules.
Of course, removing ModulePath is a good thing too.

Mikhael.
