Hi,

Sometime in the late 1900s it was said:

   I just tried this and I am not able to reproduce this condition.
   I am currently using fvwm-2.0.46 on Linux 2.0.0.

   My first guess would be *if* this problem is a fvwm problem it may have
   been addressed in a later version. You might want to install a later
   version of fvwm and see if you can reproduce the same effect.

   Good luck,

Patrick Keshishian ...
