/root/.Xclients:
#!/bin/sh

exec fvwm

It's the same way I'm starting FVWM from my user account.

For the root account, FVWM finds the configuration file in `fvwm-config
-d`/config.  Xterm uses options set by 'SetEnv', ImagePath is set that
way, as well as others, so I know the variables are getting set...  The
only issue I'm seeing is that when I open a shell and do an 'env', I see
none of my variables.
