Actually, it's always been there. In fact, it probably existed in
1.xx as well, but since it is timing related it never really showed up
for anyone then.
I think I have it fixed for the 2.1.0 release though.
The problem is in fvwm's usage of XGrabServer and XUngrabServer. The
former isn't called soon enough in the startup process, and the latter
may be accidentally being called too soon due to a nested call
situation... Well, the details aren't that important I guess.
Basically I just put a wrapper around those two calls so that they
keep track of the server grab request "nest level" and only call
XUngrabServer if it's the last one, and I moved the initial
XGrabServer call further up in the startup procedure. This should fix
things, although since I don't see the problem to begin with, it's
hard to actually test this...
I'll try and make a patch to test this and post it soon (hopefully),
since I'd like to know if it truly fixes things before I get 2.1.0
out. Or I could just make one more beta to test this, I guess, and
then put 2.1.0 out right after that.
