Hi Dominik, Mikhael, and Dan,

Thanks for your ideas...

No, I have FvwmAnimate disabled.

I have mostly the same settings. I tried changing the rest (except for
"Enable System Pixels", which doesn't seem to be in Exceed 6.2), but that
didn't fix the problem.

I tried the IconBox with the same result.

I did find one setting that would "solve" the problem: I turned off
FvwmBacker ("Settings | Background | Disable Background"). In fact all the
configurations that I've tried (eg. initial sample-95 settings, even with
MouseFocus) give this spurious screen refresh behaviour with FvwmBacker, and
the correct behaviour when FvwmBacker isn't running.

Of course one would expect the screen refresh when switching desktops, but
I'm getting it when I just select another window on the same desktop (or
even if I have just one desktop).

So, it looks like the bug is in FvwmBacker. Does anyone else see it, or is
it just me?

Thanks,
Tim.
