  It wasn't really a bug report. I was just commenting on
  the two development releases fvwm-2.5.2 and fvwm-2.5.3
  since Dominik is rewriting this area it wouldn't make sense to
  submit a bug report at this time.

   I tried the above. Make install works fine but if you
       make -k install-strip
   then the problem occurs.

   Thanks for the info. The above idea does what I want. i.e
   startx >>/var/log/win_system_log 2>&1
   gives me everything.

   What I had in mind was the thread on the bash syntax. If
   a log was running I would have immediately seen

  /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'

  and now that I have have the log running I notice that I have
  a million errors in my fvwm2rc script.
