I don't know about running fvwm2 /on top of/ CDE - I'm suprised
*anything* works! I personally select 'OpenWindows' login from the CDE
login menu, and have my .xinitrc start up fvwm2 instead of olwm.

Um. There may be an easy way to do this, but off the top of my head you
may have to do something tricky in a (csh/sh) script (using PipeRead)
like:
#!/bin/csh
# StartApp <pagex> <pagey> <app>
FvwmCommand 'Style "'$3'" StartsOnPage '"$1 $2"
toolwait $argv[3-]
FvwmCommand 'Style "'$3'"'
'Cept that won't work as-is 'cos it'll clear (?) that app.'s Style
settings ...
