No, it's the same. I forgot to mention, I can drag windows between
screens and it works fine. Only the "empty handed" scroll doesn't
work.

I really don't know how to read the output, and as it is quite large,

"diff before after -U 10")

As I can see, the "exposure" thing is related to the composite
manager, so that part shouldn't matter. Appart from that, I can only
say that some things, I supose they are windows, are disapearing when
xcompmgr is executed. Restarting fvwm makes them come back..
What do you think the problem is?
Thanks!
