Could it be the case,that fvwm>2.2.5 delivers events to "wish" as a different
type. The update command distinguishes between all events (no parameter) and
idle callbacks (parameter idletasks). Using no parameter for the update there
are no problems (if I remember correctly), but that aim't no the way to go.
Seems like good old 2.2.5 delivers events the do get processed as idle
callbacks, whereas all follow versions don't. I have to take a look at the tcl
sources to get an idea, which event's are put into which category.
