Oh bugger. You're right! I have everything else in fvwm bound to
work with or without numlock, so I keep forgetting I have that key!
Duh!

The filemgr bug etc is still there though. In that case the menu
just vanishes though. It doesn't appear to flick behind a window
due to fvwmauto though, it just vanishes. I'll test it sometime
without fvwmauto on perhaps.
