I AM NOT DOING AN 'su' TO ROOT.
I am logging in from XDM as root and not seeing the environment that I'm
specifying in my configuration.
And how might you be starting FVWM? Are you relying on the use of
~/.xsession? Is FVWM even being told where to look for the config
file? (Assuming it's not already /root/.fvwm/config, or one of the
other seven different varieties the man page lists as being part of
its search procedure.)
