Hello Bill,

Last week I seem to have found a bug in gkrellm. I found your email
address at the gkrellm site and took the liberty of mailing you this
snip of a thread on the fvwm mailing list.

I also post this to the mailing list, because if you have technical
questions, I probably won't be able to answer :-)

Regards,

Since I could reproduce this, I decided to track it down...
fvwm is indeed trying to grab the pointer and failing [XBell() at
functions.c:992 in execute_complex_function], however, it's not because
of anything Jules has done...
In ConfigFvwmDefaults, an EWMHActivateWindowFunc function is
defined--whenever gkrellm is clicked on to be moved (I think GTK2 is 
what's actually causing this to happen), EWMHActivateWindowFunc is
called, causing this problem.
