Probably in ~/.xsession, i.e. the .xsession file in your home
directory.  Something like:

#!/bin/sh
xsetbg /usr/src/linux/Documentation/logo.gif &
xterm &
fvwm2    # No "&" !

Alternatively, for just a colour: 

    cd; mkdir .fvwm2; echo steelblue > .fvwm2/background.color

and log in again.  This is a Debian feature.  Look in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt for the names.  Type "xsetroot -solid
peachpuff" to test them.

In non-free on the ftp site.  Easiest is probably to download the .deb
from the mirror dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386 (or wherever it is)
and run "dpkg -i xv..." on it as root.  Then read the copyright in
/usr/doc/xv to see *why* it's in non-free.

Is this really necessary?
