Ok, after some tricky search I finally found what you have:
http://www.suse.de/de/private/products/suse_linux/i386/packages_professional/index_all.html
They ship very old fvwm-themes-0.4.2, but it may work ok with fvwm-2.4.8
probably, I don't know.
You may install fvwm-themes-0.6.1 from sources, it works well with 2.4.8.
2.4.8 has both executable names fvwm and fvwm2, so don't worry about this.
Now, to your problem. Do you start fvwm-themes-start instead of startx or
xinit? See /usr/share/doc/packages/fvwm-themes/README .
Regards,
Mikhael.
