Debian keeps a few init files and configs for X in different places than other
Linux distributions. Or the other distributions keep them in different places
than Debian, depending how you look at it. If you installed from a .gz and
not a .deb package, the fvwm95 configs probably aren't where Debian X would
be looking for them, and the results you've described might happen.
If this is the case, you can either figure out how the fvwm95 package differs
from Debian's way of doing things, and make the needed changes in the config
yourself; or uninstall it as best you can and try a .deb package, which should
work well. Possibly you can just install the .deb without trying to uninstall
the other package, it may not matter; though there could be some leftover files
taking up hard drive space from the .gz package.
You can find a .deb package of fvwm95 2.0.43b here:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/x11/fvwm95_2.0.43ba-7.deb
Hope this helps...
