Dominik, Here is my configuration (it is an archive of my .fvwm directory). Unfortunately, the problem is not deterministic, so I can't really provide step by step instructions on how to trigger it.
I have been using this configuration for two days at work trying to come up with a better understanding of the bug, but so far I think that the only observation that holds is that any change in the taskbar window buttons might trigger the bug. For example, the bug shows when a window changes from minimized to normal state, or when the mouse focus shifts from window to window. On my work PC with the configuration specified in the initial message, the problem happens about 10 times a day, at least. At home, where I use a similar configuration (but I have RH 7.3 hence a newer X server) I was not able to replicate the problem. My best guess so far is that it is triggered by the X server, which does not do a complete refresh of the task bar when needed. I will keep monitoring the bug and hopefully I can come up with a scenario that can be replicated. I will also upgrade to 7.3 and see if that solves the problem.
