Why didn't you use MXPI? That version is in the test repo tab.
MX-23.6_x64 July 31 2023 * 6.1.0-37amd64 ext4 Xfce 4.20.0 * 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 2700
Asus TUF B450-Plus Gaming UEFI * Asus GTX 1050 Ti Nvidia 535.247.01 * 2x16Gb DDR4 2666 Kingston HyperX Predator
Samsung 870EVO * Samsung S24D330 & P2250 * HP Envy 5030

I am using the test repo fvwm3-1.0.5+ds-1-mx21+1, and it works fine.

It also adds the Fvwm3 login in the window manager. After loading, this is how the default configuration looks (without the terminal and file manager):

Well, Debian did in their stable Bookworm repo, so we get the benefits.
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing
