Really, fvwm is just honouring standards. Any decent
implementation of transparency (in an application) suppresses most
of these redraws.

Right, then it's a problem in E, afterstep, wmaker, ... too. The
standard (ICCCM2) is very clear about the right behaviour. If
other WMs are ignoring this standard, it's their problem, not
fvwm's.

But to be honest I suspect that you are running very old versions
of Eterm, rxvt and said window managers. As far as I know, the
latest versions of the terminal programs have already been fixed.
