FVWM: Window interaction hangs X server

I've got a fresh RedHat 9 installation on a workstation. Under
the stock Gnome/Metacity desktop, the thing works fine (to the
extent that Metacity ever works :-)

Now when I build fvwm 2.5.7 and change my .xsession file to launch
it, I have terrible problems: X basically just stops responding as
soon as I move a window, or do almost anything else to a window.
The X server has to be sent a "kill -9" to get rid of it. The same
thing happens if I start Mozilla, immediately after the window
decorations are drawn (none of Mozilla per se is ever rendered).

I've successfully use fvwm elsewhere (it's running on the laptop
I'm typing this from now), and this is the first time I've had
any sort of problem at all.

Anybody else seen this?
