To activate the screen saver in background, just add:
xscreensaver&
into the ~/.xinitrc file prior to launching fvwm.
There are various settings which go into ~/.Xdefaults such as a list of
programs to run. The newer xscreensaver uses a ~/.xscreensaver file, but I
think it will still work with .Xdefaults. Here are some entries in my
.Xdefaults:
xscreensaver.timeout: 5
xscreensaver.cycle: 1
xscreensaver.fade: true
xscreensaver.unfade: true
xscreensaver.visualID: default
xscreensaver.installColormap: true
xscreensaver.programs: \
attraction -root \n\
blitspin -root \n\
bouboule -root \n\
braid -root \n\
bubbles -root \n\
decayscreen -root \n\
deco -root \n\
drift -root \n\
flag -root \n\
flame -root \n\
forest -root \n\
galaxy -root \n\
goop -root \n\
grav -root \n
Note that the programs require you to escape the end of line (\n). You should
have a list of available screen saver programs. My settings allow the
screensaver to cycle through various programs instead of using one specific.
The cycling is random.
