If you installed a stable version on FC2 previously then the configs should work on this setup as well. When you installed from source did you change the install path (ie: ./configure --prefix=/usr)? If not and the user has used absolute paths in their configs then an RPM installing to /usr and not /usr/local won't put things where their configs/scripts etc. expect them to be. How are the perms in the user's ~/.fvwm ?? The fvwm-user list is a helpful place and very low traffic, perhaps answers from there could help you or the user figure things out if you're really stuck.
