Here is a snippet from my '.fvwm2rc': (Sorry about the long lines.)

####################### Initialization Functions ######################
AddToFunc InitFunction    "I" Module FvwmButtons
+                         "I" exec xsetroot -mod 2 2 -fg \#606060 -bg \#705070

AddToFunc RestartFunction "I" Module FvwmButtons

There is a "Restart FVWM" button tied to 'RestartFunction', and I assume 
'InitFunction' is a built-in. Anyway, changes made here seem to work and 
to 'stick'.

This is a RH-6.2 GNU/Linux system, but it may give you some ideas.
