Not acceptable?
Here's the bottom line on what we found out,
and this should give you some idea of how hard we tried:
http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/archive/0212/msg00286.html
What remains is for someone (not me) to report this problem
to the vendor. You can go to Sun, or anyone else distributing
RM6. I believe the software originates with LSI.
If you have any suggestions on how to fix Fvwm, let us know.
