My .xsession has "exec fvwm" as the last line but I do not think that
makes your choice incorrect. Also, your other lines look reasonable but
I've not had any experience with using such a varied assortment of
commands.
What I would do is start with "fvwm" as the only line and test with
startx. Then build up the file line by line, testing at each stage.

Definitely. And - if works with startx, it should work with xdm.
