It does not seem to be possible to pass an environment variable as a command
line to Bash's Exec command. One probably has to specify the arguments and
the command name separately, eg.
exec $WM $WM_ARG1 $WM_ARG
works. However, I found this too cumbersome. So I wrote a little startup
script "~./fvwm/startfvwm" and let this be called from .xinitrc.
