Of course it will not work if you put it after 'exec fvwm' because than
it will get executed after fvwm dies and perhaps Xorg terminates;

as I said in my post you must ensure to have a proper DISPLAY variable
in your environment and X must be up in the moment you lauch any
X-application; both are missing in your ~/.xinitrc above; try this:

make a file xmodmap.sh with 

#!/bin/sh
DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY
sleep 10
xclock

put into your ~/.xinitrc the lines:

sh ~/xmodmap.sh &
exec fvwm

(don't miss the '&' sign!) and watch if the xclock comes up after fvwm is up;
