You should use

  *FvwmBackerCommand (Desk 0, Page 2 0) Exec xpmroot bckgnd3.xpm
                                        ^^^^

instead to tell fvwm to use the normal search path. Otherwise
fvwm tries to start xpmroot as a module. Even if it were in
you ModulePath fvwm would supply it with some nonsense arguments
that are normally passed to the modules.
