Just open an xterm and issue this command... fvwm -r -f .fvwm2rc & ...assuming you have a recent fvwm version with the -replace option included, and assuming you have a .fvwm2rc config file. You may see some messages like "Another window manager is running....etc..." but this is normal. If you close the xterm however then fvwm will exit as well. Just use the gnome session manager gui to save the session and gnome _should_ remember to restart fvwm the next time you login. Starting fvwm without a config file is ok too as the default root menu will give you options to create configs for you. Alternatively go to http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net for a nice user-friendly configuration and start fvwm with "fvwm -r -f themes-rc" command instead. Hope this helps.
