This is usually caused by having Num Lock on. On most X systems - including Solaris - Num Lock is treated as an extra modifier, like control or shift. This means, in essence, that you are pressing Num_Lock+Ctrl+Left, not Ctrl+Left; applications that look for *just* Ctrl+Left thus don't respond to Num_Lock+Ctrl+Left.
fvwm2 is one of those applications, by the way. However, in this case you can add lines to your .fvwm2rc. Look at the output of xmodmap -pm, which will look like: xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74) mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e) Then, duplicate every line that is using a modifier (Ctrl, Alt, etc) and add the modifier that has Num_Lock (in this example, mod2). There should be something in the message archives about this - the subject has come up at least once or twice before. xkeycaps doesn't work, by the way, because it is specific to the X server and keyboard; it needs to know the mapping between keycodes (server-assigned key ID numbers) and keysyms (logical key names), and it needs to know where those keys are phyiscally located.. For VNC, it's not really practical to do - VNC assigns keycodes dynamically for some keys outside of the core set. The core set always has the same keycodes, however.
