Thanks, the description does indeed seem like it could be a match. I'm now running 2.7.0+patch. It passes the basic 'sniff' test and I will try and exercise the bug. Assuming it survives on my system, I think this should be merged and a 2.x "stable bugfix" release made speedily. Distributions already pushed libX11 and broke the current FVWM. Most users are just going to just see an unstable system. It's hard to reproduce and took time to rule out xdm, xorg etc.. Many thanks for the fast diagnosis. -- Mark
