Usually in runlevel 5 (X) .xinitrc file from home

The .xsession file _must_ be executable

So:
-- create a file .xsession
echo fvwm2 >$HOME/.xsession
-- make it executable
chmod 755 $HOME/.xsession

And it should work.(Works for me :-))
If it doesn't work you must figure out the X startup sequence in runlevel 5 (see files in /etc/X11/xdm) which is not an easy
task _or_ keep looking for an answer to your problem _or_
enjoy runlevel 3 :-)

This might be something. I tried switchdesk and it complains that FVWM is not installed.
I know FVWM is installed and was running a moment ago in run level 3.
