While reading the "Debian is outdated" discussion, I did a quick check of what Fedora is shipping and it turns out it's pretty old as well (2.5.30). I happen to have enough privileges in Fedora to get this fixed, so I'll go ahead and at least get the development branch updated when 2.6.4 drops.
However, I'm less sure about the patches that Fedora is carrying. The full story is at: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=fvwm.git;a=tree They all appear to be minor, though the "explicit link against fontconfig" patch was necessary to get the package building again after linker changes. It would be great if someone besides me could give them a glance; I'd really like to just drop any that can be dropped. I'll go ahead and do a test merge against 2.6.3 to see if they even still apply. - J<
