how can i see if fvwm is getting the events?

Yah, one large root window. so thats what I was thinking, but I can't
possibly see how Xinerama has anything to do with this.
xev is still getting the same events. I wrote a program to wrap the pointer
around and it works just fine on the second monitor. The control key works
in applications, the rest of the fvwm key bindings still function.
I'd like to pinpoint the problem here, and either get it fixed in FVWM or
Xinerama. You know fvwm code inside out, so I figured you would be able to
help me with ideas on making sure the bug is not in FVWM. Then I can go
talk to XFree people.
