Since you use fvwm, you would have to figure out what is used by fvwm.
As far as I recall, one of the Tim-s or Tom-s on this list is an fvwm
user. He has a webpage describing his setup. It has been posted to the
list several times. You could use that as a starting point.

Also you could try putting desktop files for the applications you want
to autostart under /etc/xdg/autostart/. To start with you can try the
nm-applet.desktop file.

Hope this helps.
