It looks as though the file that is called is ~/.fvwm/themes-rc-2; which
is a symlink to

~/.fvwm/themes/current-main/themes-rc-2.

However, all I needed to do is to raise my courage to fever-pitch and
disable "gdm" in /etc/rc2.d. 

I can now boot into the console by default. And fvwm-themes are again
fully operational.
