Yes indeed.  My entire GUI is supported by only 3.1 Mb of code.

Mainline distros likely can't do any more with 3.1 GIGABYTES.

Brother, if you aren't rolling your own, your head is in desperate
need of a cat scan.

I can't remove any line from your message because each one of it is a
jewel by itself. I knew from a long time you are a clueless limited
pretended programmer. But this one, is way beyond what I could expect
from you.

I shouldn't be that surprised you never heard about libraries and
dependencies, but I am nevertheless. I'm surprised to discover you could
believe those two binaries are enough for your WM to start.

It's another proof you never managed to create your own distro because
you would have been able to learn more for it to make it work.

For the fun, you can launch « ldd /usr/bin/Xorg » and « ldd
/usr/local/bin/fvwm3 » and see what happens.
