Please be more descriptive. Which problems exactly do you see, transparent
menus? Can you post your configuration and make some screenshots?
This can't have anything to do with ModulePath.

Do you mean the same rpm install files into different directories on your
machines? This is impossible. Probably you have several fvwm installations
on the same machine. Try "rpm -ql fvwm | less" to see the file locations.
Please, remove your ModulePath line completely. Modules will likely to
function improperly if you have this line in your fvwm2rc. fvwm binary
knows where its modules sit without any additional help.
Please also remove PixmapPath and IconPath lines. Use ImagePath instead.
It is generally a good idea to take a look at your X output, you will see
some error messages about your fvwm2rc.

Try: "xsetroot -solid darkcyan" or "fvwm-root myimage.xpm".
You may see FVWM FAQ on the web for other suggestions.
