Start the x server using 'startx -- -rootless' and start fvwm2 from your 
.xinitrc file (typically by making 'exec fvwm2' the last line. NB this does 
not end with an '&')

If you aren't interested in starting other programs from your .xinintrc, you 
can just do 'startx fvwm2 -- -rootless' for the all in one solution :-)
