If you use the cvs or daily snapshots regularly you should subscribe to
the fvwm-workers list to be up to date with what happens.

You would see that this problem was reported and answered, but not fixed.

You would also see the Dominik's request not to use the today's cvs
because it will crash.

This problem is not known. I don't quite understand what "every thing I
clicked would be toggle maximised" means. Please post all ButtonStyle and
other related lines.
