If you don't specify $1 $2 $3 then they should eval to null rather
than to themselves, in the function call. That allows (and did allow
in 2.0.46) a function to be written that could take an arbitrary (well
up to 9) number of arguments. Because that's not happening, my call
to FvwmForm is being exec'd with additional arguments that are
apparently confusing either FvwmForm itself or some X library function
it is calling. Unfortunately truss doesn't work at that high a level
and trying to attach to fvwm with gdb screws up my windowing something
awful :-) Hmmm. Maybe if I run fvwm in an Xnest server and attach to
that. Hmmm. I won't have time to do it until next week, but if
nothing else comes up I'll give it a shot then.
