Hmmm, I'm running slink, and never heard of (and I looked for) this file.

What does your /etc/X11/window-manager file say? The first line is the
window manager that will be used. Do you have a .xinitrc; does it specify a
different window manager?
Wait a sec... Are you specifying 'fvwm95-2'? On my slink system its just
'fvwm95'.
