Damn. That's what I get for printing out the manual rather than
reading it online and being able to C-s it. This solved two of my
problems. I defined the following:

AddToFunc doFvwmConsole "I" SetEnv {HOME} /tmp/.dsg
+ "I" FvwmConsole
+ "I" SetEnv {HOME} HOME

(You can see I use FvwmM4 with {} specified for quote chars) Which
does the right thing with respect to running FvwmConsole and as a side
effect by changing my warp-or-run calls from

"warp-or-run FvwmConsole Module FvwmConsole" to

"warp-or-run FvwmConsole doFvwmConsole

I no longer have the problem with $3 being passed to xterm as an
argument. I still think that might be a problem for other things
though I haven't run into them yet.

On another note, now that I've got FvwmConsole working I've been able
to debug a bit. It seems that my FvwmForms are working after all. It
was my trying to get at it via calls to warp-or-run. For now I've
just made explict calls to FvwmForm. I'm guessing it's some sort of
quoting problem.

Thanks!
