XWin was started with the following command line:
X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard
-multiwindow has an internal WindowManager that maps X-11 calls to
Windows GDI calls. If you want to use fvwm2, try editing startx to call
X with -rootless instead (or without either flag if you want to see the
X-11 root window).
I not sure if this is the actual error you're seeing, though. It looks
to me like X is dying before fvwm is called.
