   Thanks for the reply. I can send you the script but I'm not sure
   of the need. I was going to write to the tk/tcl people about the
   problem, but first I thought I would see if there were any new
   versions. There was so I upgraded from tcl8.4a3 to tcl8.4a4,
   likewise with tk and the problem went away. I rebuild the entire
   system from source every week and at one point tcl8.4a3 and fvwm
   were working fine. Then one week something (probably a new glib)
   broke tcl8.4a3. At first I thought it was fvwm-2.4.8, but I went
   back to an older version, tcl was still broken, so it wasn't fvwm.
   As I say tcl8.4a4 fixed the problem.  As far as the script goes,
   all tcl/tk scripts were broken on that term signal. I imagine that
   the tcl/tk people know about the problem but it does seem strange
   that there is a lib/tcl/gcc/... combination where signals are not
   working properly. If you need to know more about this problem let me
   know and I can restore the old tcl again.
