With CVS access and a lot of patience - yes. You'd have to
download the 2.3.x releases (35 releases) and see where it
appeared first, look at the ChangeLog entries and try to find the
guilty patch by downloading the CVS code from specific dates and
then run a diff between the two versions.

That's really funny. Obviously, the keyboard grabs are still
there, but they don't work on the root window. If you issue the
fvwm command
Recapture
after switching the layout, does it work then? Does restarting
fvwm (without restarting the X server) help?
Please add these lines to the HandleKeyPress() function in
events.c, recompile and reinstall to see if fvwm gets the key
strokes at all:
void HandleKeyPress(void)
{
...
/* Here's a real hack - some systems have two keys with the
* same keysym and different keycodes. This converts all
* the cases to one keycode. */
fprintf(stderr, "key press: kc1 0x%x, mods 0x%x ", Event.xkey.keycode,
Event.xkey.state);
Event.xkey.keycode =
XKeysymToKeycode(dpy,XKeycodeToKeysym(dpy,Event.xkey.keycode,0));
/* Check if there is something bound to the key */
action = CheckBinding(Scr.AllBindings, STROKE_ARG(0) Event.xkey.keycode,
Event.xkey.state, GetUnusedModifiers(), Context,
KEY_BINDING);
fprintf(stderr, "kc2 0x%x, action '%s'\n", Event.xkey.keycode,
(action)?action:"");
...
}
The two lines with the fprintf's are new; this is the latest code
from CVS, but older Versions should look similar enough.
Bye
