It's a known bug that surfaced with recent Linux kernels. There's
an easy fix if you don't mind to patch the sources. In the file
modules/FvwmCommand/FvwmCommandS.c you will find a line like
SendText(Fd,"",0); /* tell fvwm that we are here */
^^^^
This has to be replaced with
SendText(Fd," ",0); /* tell fvwm that we are here */
^^^^^
This has been fixed in the current stable fvwm release (2.2).
I has been in the development source in the current betas for
a few weeks.
Bye
