Okay, that's a step in the right direction.

Unless the window is placed manually, fvwm does not grab the
pointer when placing windows (although it grabs the server, but
that shouldn't make a difference here). Maybe the client does
something wrong in the calls to

If ctrl-alt-backspace still works, X does not hang. This is
usually caused by an application grabbing the server and never
releasing it. All other X programs appear to be frozen (including
the window manager). Might that application be stupid enough to
grab the server and then grab the pointer? Sou7nds a bit like
this. If it would grab the server while another application had
grabben the pointer, the latter would never get the chance to
release the pointer again.
Can I get the source code of that application somewhere?
