That's not acceptable.

I understand it may be a RM6 problem, or a Checkpoint problem (their
windows cause the same behavior), or an EMC problem (their GUI seems to
have problems, too), but why are other window managers able to handle
the problem and not FVWM?

It's forcing people like me to have to abandon FVWM, which sucks, but I
have no choice. I can't work on the things I need to work on if the
windows don't stay up.
