I've been using fvwm2 for two years now, supporting many users
running a large variety of configurations on lots of platforms:
Linux 1.x and 2.x, Irix 5.3 and 6.x, Solaris 2.3-2.5, even an Acorn
RISCiX box (how many of you have seen one of those? :-). I'm very
happy with the stability of the code.
Why not send your config for FvwmButtons again and I'll try to
reproduce the problem.
Also, FvwmButtons is a module. I don't think the window manager
releases should be held up because any modules are still in
beta. That's one of the advantages of having a module interface.
Would you suggest mwm wasn't a stable window manager? It doesn't
have a buttons module at all!
