It could be that the problem is not with fvwm, and if you get the same behaviour with 2.5.26 from Jaunty (or even if you download the current Fvwm from fvwm.org and make your own custom deb with 'make deb-inplace') then you know that there is something else running in Lucid that has caused this behavior. jaimos

The Ubuntu packages leech directly from Debian's (thankfully). The PTS for
FVWM has no extraneous patches which would affect this:

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Thanks for your tips, Jaimos and Thomas, I did not know that the fvwm packages work across various ubuntu versions and that there is no additional ubuntu-magic compiled in. I had just to add the libreadline5 before the old dpkg could be installed. The result was, that the same problem was also reproducible with 2.5.26 on lucid. I dug a little deeper to find the differences in the jaunty/lucid setups. It seems that xserver modules cause this strange behavior. With these changes, the paging on lucid works like before: Section "ServerFlags" Option"AutoAddDevices""false" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier"GenericMouse" Driver"mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option"SendCoreEvents""true" EndSection It seems, that the xserver on lucid automatically adds evdev mouse/keyboard, that interfere with the paging behavior. By blocking the autodevices and creating an old-style mouse, the setup works as expected.

I have a mechanism in Fvwm to automatically flip focus when switching pages or closing windows. While this autofocusing itself had no trouble, it had some bad interactions with a couple of special case windows whose focusing I want to work differently. AFAIK, this was caused by changes to X, because I tried several different versions of Fvwm and Ubuntu and only changing the OS would cause the problem. I fixed it by modifying my Fvwm config. -- Thanks, Jonathan Kotta Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
