Almost. At least, all you would have to do, is ensure that gdm or
whatever display manager you might want to use, honours the use of
~/.xsession, such that you can then have an entry in there such as:
exec fvwm-themes-start
Of course, if GDM is still as brain-dead as to not read that file, I seem
to recall you had to tell it to explicitly read it at one time. The other
option is to edit GDM's config and add fvwm-themes as a valid window
manager to use. Of course, all fvwm-themes-start is really doing is
something along the lines of:
fvwm -f ~/.fvwm/themesrc
or whatever the filename is -- I forget, since I haven't used fvwm-themes
in a while now.
