        I had the same problem. The source of the problem was the
following line.

AddToFunc "InitFunction" "I"
+ "I" Module FvwmPager 0 0
+ "I" Module FvwmAuto 50 raise lower
                                                ^^^^^^^
The FvwmAuto man page says that leavecommand will executed after the
timeout. If window with focus is closed, then it loses focus and hence the
lower command will not have an argument. Hence it asks you to supply one
(by changing the shape of pointer). I removed lower and the problem
disappered.

Though it works, am i right about the explanation ?

HTH,

PS :-

What is going wrong, is fvwm giving FvwmAuto incomplete information or is
FvwmAuto mucking up? the leavecommand should probably not be exeuted when
window loses focus because of death.
