I am aware that there are some problems with backing store, but we were never able to pin them down (and I still can't reproduce your problem). We had numerous reports of window parts not getting drawn, in various applications, but I could not pin down a single one. It seems that under certain circumstances *some* X servers do not always generate an Expose event when necessary. Thus, applications do not redraw themselves when they should. I am still missing a way to see that myself and to find out what fvwm might be doing to expose this bug (I think it's an X bug).
