You shoud really just edit the .xsession file in your user directory, /home/username/.xsession You do not need to include a command to run the window manager (fvwm2), gnome-session will do that for you. Check that you dont have a .xinitrc file in your home directory as this will override the .xsession file and cause it not to be looked at.
