I've used IDL on Solaris and Linux, and I always had to tell it to use
it's own backing store by putting "device,retain=2" into its
startup-file. The documentation says the default is to request the
server to do it, but that doesn't work. BTW, you have to set it
before you open any IDL-windows.
Don't know if it has anything to do with FVWM, I don't use other
window managers :-)
