A possibility I haven't pursued yet is http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/ and there look to be some great themes there. That is supposed to start with a simple fvwm-themes-start from a console. Fedora doesn't seem to have that as a package, so I'll compile and install it from tarball. It seems fairly old, so might be obsolete. If that works, I'll upgrade to the latest fvwm (2.6.4). I wanted to kick the tires on fvwm before I invested a lot of time and effort in it. There are lots of great config files on the web I wanted to try. Looks like that plan isn't going to work without some modification.
Can't you simply start X with startx and put exec /path/to/fvwm as the last line into ~/.Xclients (and make it executable)?
