FVWM: Key bindings after upgrade to Jessie

Hi,
Today, I ungraded from Debian Wheezy to Jessie and all my normal key
bindings in fvwm stopped working. In particular, I have these

Key Left A C Scroll -100 0
Key Right A C Scroll +100 +0
Key Up A C Scroll +0 -100
Key Down A C Scroll +0 +100
Key Home A C GotoPage 0 0
Key End A C GotoPage 1 1
Key F7 W N Iconify ""
Key F5 W N RaiseLower ""

Both F5 and F7 do not work. I checked that these keys have that name
when xev is used. When I have overlapping xterm or xterm with xemacs
and I press F5, the key goes to the xterm or emacs and fvwm never acts
on it. I did not touch my configuration except for removing some
deprecated commands that I did not care for.
Please help. I have gotten used to these keys and it is killing me to
use menu to raise and lower windows.
BTW, fvwm runs in a vnc session that runs on top of X with twm.
Regards
Ramesh
