heheh... it is... I had the same problem too :) The fvwm command ISN'T -f
to invoke a module or something, it's -cmd ... Therefore:

                fvwm -cmd "FvwmCpp ~/.fvwm2rc"

would be the correct syntax. This is change that will hopefully be
reflected in the next release's man page (it's incorrect in the current
one...) Enjoy!
