It isn't the compositing which is the decisive factor here, but it
should be a freedesktop.org-compliant window manager, which fvwm isn't.
freedesktop.org, by the way, is a RedHat subsidiary, and is completely
under RedHat's control. Officially it is an attempt to streamline the
different desktop environments for interoperability. Unofficially and
in practice, what it does is force certain GNOME design features into
other desktop environments and window managers, such as KDE, XFCE and
LXDE.
Furthermore, it is also the propaganda machine for RedHat's design
philosophy regarding the entire GNU/Linux ecosystem. Among other
things, it was freedesktop.org which declared a separate /usr filesystem
broken without an initramfs or initrd ─ because _they_ broke it due to
their sloppy packaging of systemd and udev on the one hand [*], and
their decision to move the content of /bin, /lib and /sbin under /usr ─
while it still isn't broken in other distributions such as Gentoo,
PCLinuxOS, Slackware, et al.
In other words, the breakage was and still is specific to RedHat
derivatives only.
[*] By ─ guess who ─ Kay Sievers and Lennart Poettering, of course. Two
developers so excellent at their job that Linus Torvalds himself has
forbidden them from submitting a single more patch to the Linux
kernel until they've cleaned up their act.
