I looked in to this -- it's a problem in GTK3. Have filed a bug upstream with a patch, hopefully this will fix it, although a similar patch for completeness in Emacs to handle a BadMatch condition, would still need to happen for belt-and-braces. I do not know though, if this has been done, and I am not prepared to check either. Net result: never was FVWM's problem. -- Thomas Adam -- "Deep in my heart I wish I was wrong.
