You should have a file in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/ as:
Fvwm
and then you should be able to select your fvwm session on the session login
panel.
if you lack Fvwm, then edit this into it:
#!/bin/bash
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession fvwm
set permissions as 755, and that should do it

You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or
software that's available on time. You can usually release software
that has 2 of these 3 attributes -- but not all 3.
