ROX-Filer can have a similar "problem". What happens is that Nautilus is
taking over control of the root-window. There is probably a setting in
there (as there is for ROX-Filer) to pass mouse bindings back to the
underlying WM.

There may well be some kind of EWMH you could try to use (man fvwm).

Never having used natilus, I wouldn't know where to look for that, but I
would assume there is. Furthermore, I don't think FVWM has a
"root-window-override" mechanism (perhaps that goes against ICCM2.0?).

Kind Regards,
