}colleagues!)

i also get this, but it isn't sporadic -- it happens all the time if i
don't explicitly quit fvwm. this is happening to everyone that i know
of using the copy of fvwm2 i compiled. most, myself included, have made
fvwm our session manager, thus eliminating the problem by forcing us to
quit fvwm before logging out. if not explicitly killed, the process
hangs around, and the load sits at a constant 1.0 until the process is
killed off. I'm using fvwm 2.0.41 under ultrix 4.3, osf/1 3.2, and irix
5.3.
