Thanks for the answer.

I've got
    fvwm2 &
in xinitrc. That brings up fvwm without any functionality. I've also tried
    fvwm &
    exec fvwm2
    exec fvwm
These don't start fvwm at all.

I can bring up twm, blackbox, and enlightenment with
    <window manager name> &
in xinitrc and all three work fine. fvwm is the only one I can't get to work.

BTW, xinitrc is not a dot file on 4.3 RELEASE. At least, not on my copy.
