 Hi,

 I see a strange phenomena/bug where a previous no-present image shines
 through widgets with white background . It is at a fixed area of the
 screen regardless of virtual window. The image blends with the foreground.
 
 My first guess is it is probably nothing to do with FVWM at all.  But your
 description is cryptic and doesn't give me much to go on.  Can you be more
 specific?

The image did not show up on xwd.
Nor did I find any window with the actual coordinates with xlsclients|
xwininfo.
It shows up in the background if I drag a window like 'xterm -bg white'
past the area but now with xterm -bg blue.

It shows on the background with 'xsetroot -bg any-color',
wheras 'display -window 0 picture.png' hides the image.

 
 I am not really suspecting fvwm, but here is some expertise on X and
 windowmanmagers..
 
 We're not a generic X11 mailing list.  Does this problem exist in other
 window managers?

yes also in Metacity - so thank you for your kind didactic help :-)

A colleage had seen similar problems connected to DRI, so
I am now installing the newest Nividia X driver..

best regards
