{ ... } groups a number of statements into one statement. As you're
grouping just one statement you can omit the { ... } safely, I should
think.

The Exec directive probably means that Fvwm just tries to exec the
first word as a program, as that is "{", it doesn't have much luck.

You can always do

Exec /bin/sh -c "{ ssh -n forte6 run_cmd forte-ioc } >/dev/console 2>&1 &"

I suppose.

Does this help?
