renamed .xsessionrc to .xsession and added exec fvwm as last line.
All good now, cheers! 

For some reason I thought the 'exec fvwm' command was no longer
necessary, but as someone has already mentioned I could ditch the
.xsession* file(s) completely. This would mean moving the background
handling into the .fvwm/config file, which would be the 'cleaner'
solution.
