You can always check the mailing list archives if you are wondering
anything like that. There is a nice search engine off of the official
homepage (http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/).

It's a bug. I forgot to strip leading whitespace out of there. It
should be fixed in the next beta (2.0.44), along with other fixes to
the parsing code.

Glad to hear it.
