I finally found a solution for my CDE problem. The problem was...

With the answers I was able to patch this problem by changing the Exit
function of fvwm2 to perform a "/usr/dt/bin/dtaction ExitSession" instead of
the regular "Quit". I fixed it in the ${HOME}/.fvwm2rc file and mapped the
exit menu to that new function.
It works really well now.
