I don't know the answer to that particular question, but I can tell you
that if you go to the fvwm.org web site and download fvwm-themes, you
can make your desktop beautiful with relative ease. The Themes include a
built-in tool to change background color, among other things. I found
the standard setup for FVWM to be pretty ugly, the Themes makes it look
as good as KDE in my opinion.
