   Not too sure. But I seem to have a similar problem
   here at work with fvwm-2.0.46 w/matrox millennium II 8MB.
   Whenever I try to "grab" some window or an area with xv
   I get a blank grab. However at home I am running same
   version of fvwm2 w/Diamond Viper v330 4MB I have no
   problems.

   The only difference between the systems are the XServers
   (both are XSuSe servers) and the colour depth they run
   at: matrox _at_ 32bpp and diamond @ 16bpp.
