Maybe, you have already told us, but which version of FvwmCommand are you
using?

By a slight chance if it is 1.4 and you are using xdm, version 1.5
should fix it.

I don't think fifos are the problem in your case. They will be overwritten
when a new ones are created, as you run FvwmCommand from menu.
