Well it may be that your login session doesn't have the complete path
statement that you expect, and so FVWM can't find xclock. This is quite a
common problem for x-terminals, in my experience. Try putting the complete
path for xclock in the Exec statement. Also, it may be having trouble with
the extra command line options. Try, specifying a colour by name instead
of rgb numbers and drop the geometry statement (irrelevant anyway seeing as
you're going to swallow the window.)
