I think, I can reproduce this, although I should move a window around
really quicky and concentrate my sight to see a difference. Seems like
the move from the titlebar is handled a bit differently. This may or may
not do something with the fact that the titlebar is in ActiveDown state
in one case and in ActiveUp in another. So, one type of move is too slow
and therefore some X events are thrown away, and you see a jumpy effect.

If your configuration makes the problem clearly reproducible without any
concentration efforts, please try to minimize it to several fvwm commands
(run: "fvwm -f minimal-rc" or "Restart fvwm -f minimal-rc") and post it.

Also specify your CPU speed and X video driver (just mention whether they
are fast or slow, mine are slow, so I never see "100% smooth").

Regards,
Mikhael.
