I thought that this would be in the mailing list archive. Does this not happen
when you have something like the pager swallowed in the button bar?

I was hoping that this would be fixed in version 2.0.43. Is it not?

I have another problem that I think might be related to this. I use
xscreensaver as my locking program. After unlocking my workstation first thing
in the morning, my FvwmButtons module is always dead and I have to restart it.

Does anyone else have this problem.
