Changing the root window cursor is really external to FVWM.
You can do it with xsetroot. Here's an example snipped from my
.fvwm2rc (the cursor names are found in cursorfont.h, wherever fine
X headers are sold):
AddToMenu SetCursor "Set Root Cursor" Title
+ "Default X" Exec exec xsetroot -cursor_name X_cursor
+ "Sailboat" Exec exec xsetroot -cursor_name sailboat
+ "Bogosity" Exec exec xsetroot -cursor_name bogosity
+ "Left Pointer" Exec exec xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
+ "Iron Cross" Exec exec xsetroot -cursor_name iron_cross
+ "Star" Exec exec xsetroot -cursor_name star
+ "Shuttle" Exec exec xsetroot -cursor_name shuttle
+ "Draped Box" Exec exec xsetroot -cursor_name draped_box
+ "Gumby" Exec exec xsetroot -cursor_name gumby
