I had the same problem, RH does not install fvwm2 alone.
RH 5.2 comes with a desktop manager or something called Next Level or
another level. If you remove it you get to see fvwm2 which is easier to
configure. fvwm2 is ugly, but it is apparently more stable than the
other WMs.
if you choose you can remove Another -level or Next level then restart
X. the rc files will have a system prefix, so copy system.fvwm2rc to
the home as .fvwm2rc then configure as documented.
I am very sleepy so I may make a few mistakes, other WM are nicer and
WindowMaker is on the RH5.2 cd.
