I upgraded to
[FVWM][main]: Fvwm Version 2.3.16 compiled on Apr 20 2000 at 13:11:17
[FVWM][main]: with support for: ReadLine RPlay Stroke XPM IMLIB Session
and the bug is still here. As for how to reproduce it, I think I described
it all well enough. In short:

1. On a desk where you have several overlapping sticky and not stiky
windows bring the not sticky window to the front.
2. Switch to another desk.
3. Return back to the desk where you started.
4. On the screen you will see the not sticky window on top of others, on
the pager you will see sticky windows on top of it.

Hope it helps.
