Dear all, [sorry for crossposting - but I would like to connect different sources about this problem]
The problem is that fvwm does not install any keybindings when started inside a vncserver, see Debian bug #784328 or Raphael's post "Understanding why Key bindings are not installed" on the fvwm mailing list on March 2, 2015. I have this problem with fvwm 2.6.5 from Debian stable and vnc4server 4.1.1 and tightvncserver 1.3.9. To reproduce the problem, start vncserver on your local machine and start fvwm without any configuration inside that vnc X xerver. Then open the FvwmCommand console and do PrintInfo bindings there. The work around that I found is using the tigervncserver, in there, fvwm installs the key bindings as expected. There are deb packages of tigervncserver (follow releases -> the binary link on bintray -> Files). They don't install right away on Debian stable, but when you unpack them (dpkg -x) and make some symlinks, you can run run the binaries. However, for me, tigervnc shows the Ctrl-space problem, i.e., Ctrl-space is not transmitted correctly to applications inside vnc, making it quite difficult to work with emacs inside tigervnc. I am therefore still interested in a solution to the fvwm key bindings problem. If anybody has a idea about how to convince fvwm to install key bindings inside fvwm, please follow up on this email.
