I had the same problem. I solved it by renaming ~/.xsession to
~/.xinitrc and ~/.Xresources to ~/.Xdefaults (or rather made
symlinks) and then it worked just fine.
(somewhat unrelated: I noticed that the new fvwm2 package has it's
modules in a new location, /usr/X11R6/lib/fvwm2/fvwm/2.1.10/ rather
than /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2/ which did break my custom config
(easy fix though))
