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.
