Funny you should mention Redhat 9.0.

I just installed it at work on a server and was able to run whatever
WM is the default.

When I started Fvwm, any key I hit resulted in the display resizing
as if I had hit Ctl-Alt +/-.

Ctl-Alt backspace still worked though.

I was too busy to make any attempt to debug it.
