Thank you, I upgraded to fvwm
[FVWM][main]: Fvwm Version 2.3.15 compiled on Apr 14 2000 at 15:07:02
[FVWM][main]: with support for: ReadLine RPlay Stroke XPM IMLIB Session
beta and a lot of things started to ork as I want them to :)

But... I encountered two new problems with task bar.

1. The mail mini icon started to appear when I get new mail but the action
that I want it to do (switch to desk 2 where my mailer lives) does not
work, it just makes the icon blank.

2. Something is wrong with task bar tips now. Instead of showing little
yellow window with window name it shows two strange lines, somewhat like
this:

                                    |
        ----------------------------+
---------------------------------------------------
[Start] [Netsca...] [Netsca...] [Netsca...] [18:00]
---------------------------------------------------
           ^
         Mouse pointer

The length of the bottom line seems to be the same as needed for the tip
but no text is drawn... :(

My task bar settings are the following.
# FvwmTaskBar
*FvwmTaskBarGeometry +0-0
*FvwmTaskBarAutoStick
*FvwmTaskBarUseSkipList
*FvwmTaskBarUseIconNames
*FvwmTaskBarAction Click1 Iconify -1,Raise, Focus
*FvwmTaskBarAction Click2 Module "FvwmIdent" FvwmIdent
