Some input grabbing windows and modal windows (mostly dialog boxes)
can flash infinitely depending on existing windows.
Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.
The behaviour can permanently freeze the whole server needing
logging from a remote terminal to kill the freezing process.
A workaround consists of using FvwmPager to switch to another
viewport on the same desktop and when you switch back to the initial
viewport the flashing has stopped.
In my daily usage it only happens using Interleaf 6 or my home made
Motif applications.
