That doesn't mean that fvwm gets the events. It only indicates
that the application noticed something.

If Xinerama is really what I think (a large root window;
applications are unable to tell the difference between
one big and many small monitors), this looks lika a bug
in the Xinerama code.

The adjuration to be "normal" seems shockingly repellent to me; I see neither
hope nor comfort in sinking to that low level.  I think it is ignorance that
makes people think of abnormality only with horror and allows them to remain
undismayed at the proximity of "normal" to average and mediocre.  For surely
anyone who achieves anything is, essentially, abnormal.
