If any of these hangs or crashes are in fvwm, a stack trace might help.

Did you try using these options? Did it help?
If you are using a current beta, it might help if you put this in
your .fvwm2rc:

I'm unable to get inside the Cadence support area. I guess I'd need
to be a customer.
This product also runs under Windows. It may be using the Mainsoft

that advice helps.
Let us know what you find.
