BTW, DjView can also be initially started in fullscreen mode: "djview
-fs /path/to/document.djvu". Unfortunately, it is also not working under
FVWM.
Yes it is! I tryed the above command and it went fullscreen without
any problem. The problem appeared when I tryed to exit fullscreen
mode, because then fvwm reparented the window, and it kept its full
screen size..
So, the question remains, why did fvwm reparent the window.. Dominik
can you help us with this?

I think MOTIF hints are implemented in FVWM as Style 'MwmDecor':
MwmDecor makes fvwm attempt to recognize and respect the mwm decoration
hints that applications occasionally use. To switch this style off, use
the NoDecorHint style.
But setting it on/off don't have any effect on discussed application.
