Make sure that you have access to the display... I.e., if you're logged
in to X as a user, and you're su'd to root trying to run fvwm2, it won't
work, because only your user has access to the display (i.e.... run fvwm2
as your user)... Also, make sure your DISPLAY environment variable is set
to ":0" ... have fun.
