  I've no problem with solaris 2.5 X11R5 Fvwm-2.0.42.
Do you have the num lock key pressed? Try to press it and test xman again.
I had a similiar problem some time ago, on an Indy using mwm. The problem
was the same with all the programs using the athena (Xaw) widget set.
If the num-lock is active, you can see menus but you can't select them.
Again, I repeat that I had this problem with mwm.

  I tested here and I have the same problem as you If I enable the numlock
key. This seems to be a problem of the athena widget set. Does anybody can
confirm this?

Lokh.
