Or, choose the "third way"! :)

Change your key and mouse click to accept both "R" (root window) AND "D"
(desktop application).  So:

  >> > Mouse         3  R  A   StrokeFunc FeedBack DrawMotion StrokeWidth 2
  >> > Stroke  0     0  R  A   Exec xmessage "Just click mouse 3 on the root"

  >> > Stroke  N456  0  R  A   Exec xterm -n "Draw line from left to right"

Mouse         3  RD  A   StrokeFunc FeedBack DrawMotion StrokeWidth 2
Stroke  0     0  RD  A   Exec xmessage "Just click mouse 3 on the root"
Stroke  N852  0  RD  A   Exec xterm -n "Draw line from up to down"
Stroke  N456  0  RD  A   Exec xterm -n "Draw line from left to right"


See the documentation of the "Mouse" option in the fvwm man page.

Note you need a sufficiently new version of FVWM (I don't remember
whether this is implemented in 2.4.x).
