Any suggestions?
Enable core dumps on your system (ulimit -c unlimited), and compile with gdb support (-ggdb to gcc). Then when fvwm crashes you will get a file core or core.$PID. Use gdb to obtain a backtrace from it (gdb fvwm corefile -ex "bt full") and send that to the fvwm-workers list. /Viktor
