        SilverXP was equally "wrong". The same behaviour as I described
        in original letter.

        Why Mozilla&Konqueror work well in KWin, then ?

        I can't even with SilverXP. However I was able not so long ago.
        I tried to revert IceWM to 1.2.27/26..., but this did not help.
        May be the problem is with some underlying library having been
        upgraded. But unfortunately I don't have an idea what and in 
        what order to revert back.

        Yes, I have msttc.f. installed, among others. 
        And they are listed in fc-list, sure.

        This helped. This corrected even metal2.
        But why should I need this workaround now 
        when I did not need it before ?
