I think you are referring to the colormap flashing you see on
8 bit displays. That comes from the application using a private
colormap. I think the word "private" is key. I don't know that fvwm
can use it. If it did attempt to use it, I don't know that fvwm could
allocate any colors in it. If fvwm attempted to use the colors already
allcocated in the colormap, I don't think fvwm could expect those colors
to stay constant.
