That sounds to me like a problem with the fvwm configuration file. I can't
quite remember where this goes but I guess it must be somewhere under
 /usr/X11R6.1/lib/ - I'll bet it has explicit paths to /usr/lib/X11 in it.

Some are, some are separate sets and some you have to download the source from
an ftp site (I recommend sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk as you're connecting from an
academic site) and build yourself. It depends what you want.
