FVWM: Keybindings and Cygwin/XFree86

At work we decided to dump XWinPro that we have used 'til now to access
the Linux servers and start to use Cygwin on the local PCs (to lighted the
burdon on the develop machine).

So I sacrificed a few hours this evening to get my script-based FVWM
config working and compiled 2.5.6 (since I use some cutting-edge features,
such as my vector button pixel offsets :-) ).

Mostly it works nice (except a lot of programs not present (like
ROX-filer, but no big deal, an RXVT is sufficent).
Though the keybindings are not working.

For example I have:

Key F1 R N Menu MainMenu
Key F1 A M Menu MainMenu

But when I press F1, I get the _built in_ Root menu.
Also I have Alt+F4 bound to "Close", this is intercepted ny the
"surrounding" Windows window, and asks if I really want to kill the
X-Server (I don't).

Is there some way around this?

(I really like the idea of not running Metacity and Bluecurve, the
"official" WM to use in Cygwin is wmaker. I would rather run FVWM. I hope
if I get it to work nicely, my boss might let me use it... :-) )
