It depends on the OS and X server, actually.

Solaris 2.5 running OpenWin is L3, my .fvwmrc shows:

Key L3 A N Menu Window-Ops

SunOS 4.1.x running X11R6 (OpenWin 3.0 blowz) is "SunProps", my .fvwmrc shows:

Key SunProps A N Menu Window-Ops

Since I dual-boot into either OS, I just specify definitions for both and
let it go.

Here's the total of my key configuration for Solaris 2.5.1:

# OpenWin (Solaris 2) keybindings
Key L1 A N Exec exec xlock &
Key L2 A N WindowList
Key L3 A N Menu Window-Ops
Key L5 WI N RaiseLower
Key L6 WI N Move-or-Raise
Key L7 WI N Iconify-Func
Key L8 W N Resize-or-Raise
Key L9 A N Menu Utilities

If you want to experiment, use xev (as was mentioned here many times).
