The only fvwm2 I have in my initial path is a shell script called fvwm2.
It looks like this:
export FVWMHOME=/opt/public/src/fvwm/2.4.0
export FVWMHOME=/opt/public/src/fvwm/2.2.5
export FVWMHOME=/opt/public/src/fvwm/2.4.13
export FVWMHOME=/opt/public/src/fvwm/2.5.7
export PATH=$PATH:$FVWMHOME
exec $FVWMHOME/fvwm2 "$_at_"
