FVWM: FvwmBacker weirdness

After a hiatus from tracking fvwm releases, and from this list, I've
just upgraded to 2.0.46. I like the new features (especially the
FvwmIconMan magic that lets me create a taskbar), but I'm having some
strange results with my FvwmBacker setup (which is unchanged from
2.0.45 in my config).

- The -solid option produces results that look like a bad xor
  value. *FvwmBackerDesk 0 -solid steelblue produces a(n aweful) tan
  color, while *FvwmBackerDesk 2 -solid white results in a solid black
  background. This happens regardless of the XORValue setting (default
  or 255)

- lines like
    
        *FvwmBackerDesk 1 /usr/X11R6/bin/xbackdrop
        *FvmwBackerDesk 3 xpmroot /usr/local/lib/backdrops/arena.xpm

  fail silently, while

        *FvwmBackerDesk 4 /usr/X11R6/bin/xpmroot /usr/local/lib/backdrops/leaves.xpm

  results in

        [FVWM][executeModule]: <<ERROR>> Execution of module failed:
        /usr/X11R6/bin/xpmroot /usr/local/lib/backdrops/spacebg.xpm
        No such file or directory

My environment is Linux, with MetroX 3.1.8. My display runs in 16 bit
mode. All of this behaved as documented under 2.0.45. Did I miss
something?

- Jim
