Package: fvwm
Version: 1:2.6.7-2
Severity: normal

I get the following warnings in my .xsession-errors file (where FVWM's
standard error is redirected):

[fvwm][GetWindowSizeHints]: <<WARNING>> reason: 2: The hints have been ignored 
because the window's current size would have become invalid.  The new hints 
will become active when the window generates the next ConfigureRequest.

when a window is opened.

[fvwm][GetWindowSizeHints]: <<WARNING>> reason: 4: The hints have been ignored 
because the window's current size would have become invalid.  The new hints 
will become active when the window generates the next ConfigureRequest.

when a window is closed.

I've tried with windows from the following applications: xterm, Emacs,
xev. This seems to be always reproducible.

This also occurs when I move to a different page with FvwmPager, with
lots of warnings (I assume one for each window of the old and new
pages).

After 23 hours, the size of my .xsession-errors file is 678 KB.
I don't think that the space taken is much a problem, but the major
consequence is that these warnings can easily hide more interesting
warning/error messages (from FVWM or applications started by it).
