I don't think he wants exec, he's trying to generate keystrokes
that are handled by the Linux kernel (I believe).

Neil, I think you are asking this question on the wrong list.
I don't know the right one, but I'm pretty sure this is Linux kernel
stuff. Even if fvwm did support generating synthetic keystrokes, I don't
think the kernel would see them.

CTRL-ALT-F1 works even when the x server isn't active.
