My Exceed version is 6.2.0.16 (Help, about).
I'm using W98SE.
Can you give more detail about what the annoying screen refresh looks
like? What parts of the screen are redrawn.
In modules/FvwmBacker/FvwmBacker.c around line 365, change it to
look like this:
void ProcessMessage(unsigned long type, unsigned long *body)
{
char *tline;
switch (type)
{
case M_CONFIG_INFO:
tline = (char*)&(body[3]);
fprintf(stderr"FvwmBacker: config\n");
ExecuteMatchingCommands(ParseConfigLine(tline));
break;
case M_NEW_DESK:
current_desk = body[0];
fprintf(stderr"FvwmBacker: new desk\n");
ExecuteMatchingCommands(-1);
break;
case M_NEW_PAGE:
current_desk = body[2];
current_x = body[0]/MyDisplayWidth;
current_y = body[1]/MyDisplayHeight;
fprintf(stderr"FvwmBacker: new page\n");
ExecuteMatchingCommands(-1);
break;
}
}
If you don't already know how to look at fvwm's stderr in real time,
start fvwm like this:
fvwm2 2>/tmp/fvwm.out
Then start:
tail -f /tmp/fvwm.out
then iconify a window to see if FvwmBacker is getting commands
during iconification.
