1 Herein lies the (partial?) list of Known Bugs. Further bug reports
2 (or even better, solutions) can be sent to the fvwm mailing list (see
3 the FAQ for address and how to PROPERLY report bugs).

12 - No geometry can be specified for FvwmButtons panels.
13 - FvwmSave and FvwmSaveDesk are not up to date.

25 Configure remembers too many things, particularly with respect to the
26 optional libraries. If you ever need to re-run configure, using
27 different --with options, please remove "config.cache" file first.

31 Binding a key to a window decoration but not to the window itself is
32 discouraged because when the key-press event finally gets to the
33 window it will be marked as SYNTHETIC and will be ignored by many

38 Sending DESTROY window manager options to applications is a bad way to
39 close them and should only be used as a last resort. Strange things
40 can happen. Please try CLOSE first.

44 Some users have seen intermittent problems with XEmacs version 19.13
45 not being refreshed correctly after a restart of fvwm. If this
46 occurs, you should be able to open a new frame and delete the old one.
47 I can't debug this, as I don't see this problem. I don't know if the
48 problem is from XEmacs, fvwm, or something specific to a few user's
51 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
53 Some users have been getting odd startup problems, like total lockups.
54 I cannot reproduce this, and have no idea why. Let me know if you see
55 this and find a way to consistently reproduce it.

59 Fvwm attempts to be ICCCM 2 compliant. In addition, ICCCM
60 states that it should be possible for applications to receive ANY
61 keystroke, which is not consistent with the keyboard shortcut approach
62 used in fvwm and most other window managers. In particular you
63 cannot have the same keyboard shortcuts working with your fvwm and
64 another fvwm running within Xnest (a nested X server). The same problem
65 exists with mouse bindings.
