At my work, we are using a SS5 with _three_ monitors and Xvan. I installed
Fvwm 2.0.42 on it the other day, (just when I was about to puke over olwm
and twm). Everything is working out fine. I can reccomend this
configuration, it's really nice with such a big workspace.

There is just one small strange thing: when I'm resizing or placing a
window, some of the lines from the grid extends to the upper corners of
all the tree monitors. I haven't seen this on any of the other wm's (but
on the other hand, I'm trying not to look at olwm :)

Anyone got an idea about what to do? Could this be fixed in 2.0.43?
