Did ./configure make sudo make install
logged out to lightdm. No new fvwm3 session.
ls -la /usr/local/xessions gives no fvwm3.desktop. Copied and renamed fvwm2.desktop to fvwm3.desktop. Edited some of the contents in that file.
Did sudo killall Xorg to force reload of lightdm. Problem solved.

Thanks -- I looked in to this, and it seems Debian generate this file; presumably other OSes do as well. It's currently not part of FVWM3 -- I'd happily accept a patch to add/install such a file, assuming it followed the Freedesktop guidelines.
