There is fvwm-gnome:

Unlike fvwm, this has been compiled with GNOME support (at this
point, this means that the fvwmGTK modules is a GNOME application,
not a gtk application. but this may change).
I _presume_ that if you install a kde app then it will pull in any
libraries it needs, but I honestly don't know as I try to find alternate
apps which do the same job.
I did not mean to imply that if you run fvwm you *cannot* run KDE or
GNOME apps. :-)

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
