first thing i'd try is to reinstall fvwm2

apt-get remove fvwm2 ; dpkg --purge fvwm2 ; apt-get clean ; apt-get update ;
apt-get install fvwm2

to be sure its the latest & greatest.

and/or run X via 'startx'(not by a display manager) and check the errors:

startx >&/tmp/X.log

and check X.log to see what is wrong
