set your login to text mode so that you have a text based login. then do
startx -e mwm. That will start the motif window manager for you when
you need to use it. Otherwise just start your x server as you normally
do to access fvwm

Use of LessTif doesn't mean you have to switch window managers.
I am developping LessTif but I never run the LessTif window
manager. I am currently using icewm.

So : you can use DDD with LessTif and continue to use fvwm2.
