I have no experience with screen readers, and very little knowledge
of the subject overall.  I wouldn't *expect* fvwm to work particularly
well with screen readers, nor to be actively developed at this stage
in its life cycle.  It's been around for decades.

I just checked fvwm.org and apparently there is a version 3.x of fvwm
in development, but I didn't go beyond the front page, so I don't
know how active or how recent that development is, nor what features
they're looking to add.
