 For example, wmbatteries does'nt update the status. 
 Is there an application which works fine with Fvwm2 and ACPI?

Not exactly what you want but I use a dynamic menu to show to output of
acpi which keeps the desktop unclatered (I don't like much eye candy
since I rairly see the desktop anyway as most of the windows are
maximized).

This also shows the time in the title (can probably be done more
efficiently, but I didn't have the time yet, don't know if sed will be
lighter then perl for this).

DestroyMenu System
AddToMenu System System Title
+ DynamicPopUpAction  Function build_system_menu

DestroyFunc build_system_menu
AddToFunc build_system_menu
+ I DestroyMenu System
+ I Piperead 'perl -e \'open TIME, \date +\\\%T %a %b %d %Y %Z\\\|\; while 
(TIME) { chomp; print \AddtoMenu System \\\$_\\\ Title\\n\}\''
+ I Piperead 'perl -e \'open ACPI, \acpi -V|\; while (ACPI) { chomp; 
s/^\\s\\s//; s/%/%%/g; print \AddtoMenu System \\\$_\\\ nop\\n\}\''
+ I AddToMenu System DynamicPopDownAction Function destroy-system-menu
+ I ChangeMenuStyle NoHotKeys System

DestroyFunc destroy-system-menu
AddToFunc destroy-system-menu 
+ I DestroyMenu System
+ I AddToMenu System System Title
+ I AddToMenu System DynamicPopUpAction Function build_system_menu

Not strictly what you asked, but i use gkrellm for monitoring battery
status and much much more. IMHO, gkrellm is the perfect addition to an
FVWM desktop.

cheers,

I hope xosview is too... (when only basic things are needed), and
everybody has it.
