When referring to fvwm version numbers, please use the correct full
version number if you know it (see the man page for how to figure that
out). It is a number like 2.0.43 (not 2.4), and the distinction is
rather important in case one is referring to a bug that was fixed in a
specific patchlevel. This is not the case for this problem, but
enough people do this so I figured I should say something (I'm putting
a note about that in the FAQ too).

You just reminded me of another thing I wanted to put in the FAQ, but
had forgotten about. Coincidentally it answers your question:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
31) I try to run some program under FVWM, but it dies with an X11
error like BadAccess. The same program works just fine under MWM
or OLWM. What's going on?
A: The error message usually looks something like this:
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private
resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 28 (X_GrabButton)
Serial number of failed request: 1595
Current serial number in output stream: 1596
Well, this is generally telling you that there is a conflict in
key/button assignments. In your .fvwm2rc you have bound some
key/button that this program really wants to bind to an action, but
it can't since FVWM has already done so (but you weren't doing it
in the rc file for your previous window manager). Figure out what
the offending key binding is and remove it from your .fvwm2rc, or
temporarily via FvwmTalk by removing the FVWM binding (see the man
page for the Key & Mouse commands).

Hope that helps,
Chuck
