It may well be that this bug is specific to fvwm, but here
it is ONLY triggered by gimp.
I think I can trigger the crash reproducibly in my setup:
* I'm using a DesktopSize of 8x2 with two screens
("Xinerama on" is default).
* To trigger the crash, gimp (apparently) must be run on
a "desktop" pretty far to the right (i.e., not on the
first desktop (0,0) of the 16 desktops).
* So, on this dekstop (e.g. (7,1)), I open an xterm and then:
- $ gimp
- File > Open (an existing tiff or png ... file)
- File > Close View
- File > Quit
-> fvwm crashes
(On desktop (0,0): no crash; without "File > Close View" action:
no crash; ...)
Some suspicious lines from .xsession-errors (collected from several
different crashes, not every crash writes a message to
.xession-errors:) are:
*** Error in `x-window-manager': double free or corruption (out):
0x00000000008569a0 ***
*** Error in `x-window-manager': free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000001081ed0 ***
*** Error in `x-window-manager': malloc(): memory corruption (fast):

Following these errors are fatal errors of several open programs:
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
after 78 requests (76 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
after 133 requests (115 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
after 261 requests (197 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
after 83 requests (81 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
xterm: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) or KillClient on X
server ":0.0"
...
Probably not related are some persistent fvwm charset problems:
[fvwm][convert_charsets]: WARNING -
Invalid byte sequence during conversion from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1
Rarely, errors are also written to syslog/kern.log when fvwm crashes:
Mar 16 09:19:57 myname kernel: [146626.224888] x-window-manage[25095]: segfault

libc-2.19.so[7f820f51b000+19f000]
As mentioned before (but not necessarily related), fvwm does not
display handles for several dialog windows, e.g., in gimp (File > Open)
or xpdf.
These crashes are really annoying; please let me know if I can
help you to remove this bug.
