--- Begin Message ---Hello, This was reported by a Debian user. Please retain the CC to [email protected] in your response, so that the Debian BTS has a record. Sometimes when a process stops the window will remain open until some event is triggered in fvwm (in my test I use FvwmIdent) in which fvwm will remove the window. The following script was provided by the user which launches and closes a large number of xterms. When running this script some of the xterm windows will remain even though the process is no longer running.

But if you run FvwmIdent something is triggered which removes all the affected windows. I was not able to reproduce this on my main machine (though rarely I would have a window stick around for a second or two before it was removed, most weren't even drawn), but I was able to reproduce this with the default config on both the debian 2.6.7-3 package and the master branch from git inside a virtual machine. thanks for your time, jaimos
