OK, so now we know that the core is coming from FvwmTaskBar
when it enters the X Error handler. You posted the message
from the X error handler a while back it was:

> [FVWM][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error ***

Request 66 = X_PolySegment
Error 8 = Badmatch
EventType 4 = buttonpress
EventType 28 = PropertyNotify

So, I think its drawing some lines and getting a badmatch error.
The eventtypes don't make sense to me.

I don't see any references to polysegment in FvwmTaskBar or
in the libs directory, so I'm a bit lost. Maybe one of our
X experts or FvwmTaskBar experts (Olivier?) can help me out?

No, you can only run one copy of fvwm at a time.
I'm not sure the output of PrintInfo Colors is important anymore,
the above information narrows the problem down a bit.

Lets see what one of our experts thinks is the next step.
