=2Exsession is meaningless for startx; it's looking for .xinitrc. xdm
reads .xsession. (Hardlinking the two isn't a bad idea.)

Aside from the ampersanding advice, note that if you've running
fvwm2 out of pkgsrc and aren't installing X packages into
/usr/X11R6/bin, xdm's PATH probably doesn't include /usr/pkg/bin, so
you'll need to use the full path for your window manager or alter
files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm (probably Xsession, but it's been a
while since I set up a workstation from scratch) to set PATH
appropriately.
