No. I didn't have time to fool around with it.
I was using a CVS build from April, built on Mandrake
8.2.
The way it was acting seemed more like an X server problem
than something caused by Fvwm. But it did work with whatever
RH supplies. Thinking about it, I'm not really sure what I
would do to debug it. Not that I have to, its a server.
I normally work on it remotely.
