Frankly Alex I'm ashamed at you replying to this lad and not only giving
advice that clearly doesn't work but not actually seeing the problem
that he is running fvwm-themes-start and not startx as he is supposed
to. You've hung out in #linuxhelp long enough you pick up on things
like this right away :).
Anyway the the problem is that the script fvwm-themes-start doesn't
actually start up X which it is trying to connect to, you have to start
up X then start fvwm and all it's tools, simplest way to do that is
place fvwm-themes-start in a file in your home dir called .xinitrc,
something like pico ~/.xinitrc will open it, then place
exec fvwm-themes-start
and when you type startx it should run
