>From the manual:
 
          The special symbols $w and $0 through $9 are available
          in the ComplexFunctions or Macros, or whatever you want
          to call them. Within a macro, $w is expanded to the
          window-id (expressed in hex, ie 0x10023c) of the window
          for which the macro was called. $0 though $9 are the
          arguments to the macro, so if you call
(useful example follows!!!)

So, change it to:

AddToFunc RemoteShell
+ "I" Exec rsh -n -l $0 $1 "/usr/bin/X11/xterm -display $2"

It works.

"man fvwm2" is a quite useful reading for the fvwm2 user ;-)

Happy reading,
