Sounds pretty broken. Other things to try are to resize the window or to restart fvwm or to use the "Recapture" or "RecaptureWindow" command. Maybe clicking somewhere in the window where one of the controls should be helps? But I have litte hope that anything of this wokrs. Probably the window waits for some specific odd event that never comes. Do you display icons too, or have them just in the icon manager? Maybe it waits for the icon window to appear? Try to comment out all icon related styles in your configuration file and see if that helps (i.e. make fvwm use and display whatever icon pixmap or icon window the application provides).
