Thanks anyway...You're not understanding. rxvt doesn't replace fvwm. They are completely separate. fvwm is a window manager; it draws the decorations around X windows and lets you close them etc. rxvt is a terminal program - it's what runs inside the decorations to give you a place to type commands.
When you run Cygwin via the default .BAT, you get a Windows console window as your terminal program, which is not a very good one. If you're using full-screen fvwm, you probably use xterm as your terminal program - but the double-clicking should work for that, so I'm not at all clear on what your environment looks like.
But either way, you can easily use rxvt instead, which has friendlier behavior for selecting text.

You're welcome. Though I would give some credit to Mark for taking the time to help you understand my response. :-)
