I use xemacs. I had this problem under 2.0.43. It seems to be better
since 2.0.44. I can't say that it's fixed, as I've only used .44 for
two days. I _can_ say that it _appears_ to be much worse (ie., happen
more often) when I have tkGoodStuff running (as a module). I've
stopped using tkGoodStuff (for other reasons), and it has not happened
as often (even under .43). One clue to this is that I was using a
win95-style taskbar config with tkGoodStuff, and also had a FvwmPager
running. I don't know if tkGoodStuff launches its own FvwmPager, but
might there be a problem with two pagers running?

Noticed this one also.

Havn't seen this, but I don't have much to compare it with. I can
only compare my linux/fvwm system to an HP /712, but the two systems
are substantially different (ie., the HP does only 8 bpp, the linux
system does 16, etc.)
