You should have xlock or xscreensaver rpms installed on your system.

Then find a definition of your root menu and its submenus, probably in
the file ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc and then fix the entries that do not work.
Search the fvwm man page for the correct menu syntax.

You probably want something like this:

  AddToMenu MenuScreenSavers
  + "Screen Saver" Exec exec xlock -nolock
  + "Lock with password" Exec exec xlock -nice 19

It is also possible to create the screensaver menu automatically using
fvwm-menu-xlock script, read its man page.

Mikhael.
