If the application does an X Server grab, theres nothing fvwm
can do about it.

As your .xinitrc shows, you are running fvwm2 detached from your .xinitrc.
(In the background.)
If fvwm2 exits, you are without a window manager.

Your .xinitrc is held by this "wait" command. If the wait command were to
end, then your X Session would end and you would be back at the command
prompt.
If you wanted the window manager to hold your X Session, you would put it
last in your .xinitrc and not put an ampersand at the end.
