ROTFL! :-) I was having the same problem - only with KDE though, but I do not
use fvwm. 

I solved the problem with KDE by removing the app-defaults file for XTerm in
KDE (/usr/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/XTerm.ad). I don't know what
happens with fvwm though.

BTW: If you have another KDE-Version than I try find / -name XTerm.ad to
locate the file or, better and faster if you have a locate db, "locate
XTerm.ad".
