For this to be a bug, fvwm2 would have to be in conflict with its
documentation. I think the relevant part is "recapture" from "man
fvwm2":
Recapture
Causes fvwm to recapture all of its windows. This
ensures that the latest style parameters will be used.
The recapture operation is visually disturbing.
Notice that "recapture" affects "styles", but not key and mouse
bindings.
I think keys and buttons are associated with windows when the window
is originally created in "add_window.c", in the functions "GrabKeys"
and "GrabButtons".
Still, it seems like this might be useful functionality for fvwm2, so
you never know, someone might decide to tackle this, now that you've
identified what you'd like to do...
