I vaguely recall running into this.  Some versions of FvwmBacker
require you to put Exec in front of any command you specify in the
resources, while some don't.  Here's what I mean:

*FvwmBackerDesk 0 Exec xv -root -quit -ncols 85 /home/marquard/pictures/nick.tif
*FvwmBackerDesk 1 Exec xv -root -quit -ncols 85 /home/marquard/pictures/thor0.tif
*FvwmBackerDesk 2 Exec xv -root -quit -ncols 85 /home/marquard/pictures/thor1.tif
*FvwmBackerDesk 3 Exec xv -root -quit -ncols 85 /home/marquard/pictures/thor2.tif
*FvwmBackerDesk 4 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/circle_weave.xpm
*FvwmBackerDesk 5 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/concrete.xpm
*FvwmBackerDesk 6 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/rough.xpm
*FvwmBackerDesk 7 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/weave-red.xpm
*FvwmBackerDesk 8 Exec xpmroot /home/marquard/textures/xenon.xpm

You might try playing with this.
