RTFM. The FAQ for fvwm 2.0.45 has:

31) I try to run some program under FVWM, but it dies with an X11
    error like BadAccess. The same program works just fine under MWM
    or OLWM. What's going on?

A: The error message usually looks something like this:

        X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private
        resource denied)
         Major opcode of failed request: 28 (X_GrabButton)
         Serial number of failed request: 1595
         Current serial number in output stream: 1596

   Well, this is telling you that there is a conflict in key/button
   assignments. In your .fvwm2rc you have bound some key/button that
   this program really wants to bind to an action, but it can't since
   FVWM has already done so (but you weren't doing it in the rc file
   for your previous window manager). Figure out what the offending
   key binding is and remove it from your .fvwm2rc, or temporarily via
   FvwmTalk by removing the FVWM binding (see the man page for the Key
   & Mouse commands).
