The amazing thing! After installing FVWM from the web site you mentioned
with fvwm-themes, it works fine from run level 3. I switched back to run
level 5 and it pushed me back to GNOME. What could be the reson. The
.xinitrc file is the same and of course it doesn't read it ar is getting
over written by some thing. Does that mean that I got to stay in run
level 3.
