When I use FVWM I have to do this stuff to get TDE applications working (it's in my .xinitrc):

export TDE_FULL_SESSION=false
export TDEHOME=$HOME/.trinity
export TDEROOTHOME=/root/.trinity
export TDE_SESSION_UID=$UID
export TDE_MULTIHEAD=false
export TDEDIR=/opt/trinity
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/opt/trinity/etc/xdg
eport XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/trinity/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share
tdeinit_shutdown
tdeinit
#terminator --geometry=800x500-0-0 &
fvwm >/tmp/fvwm.log 2>&1
tdeinit_shutdown

If I don't, then TDE applications show interestin behaviour like tcontrol with empty tree etc.
