See "Premature close of OpenInterface GUI" thread, November-December 2002. Bottom line: It's an RM6 problem. RM6 is an OpenInterface-based GUI, with some very unconventional windowing behavior. For example, if no window manager is running, the RM6 windows will unilaterally decorate themselves using pseudo-MWM-style decorations (rather arrogant behavior, to my way of thinking). The problem has been reported to Sun, but they were disinclined to open a bug report - since RM6 works fine under dtwm, olwm and twm, they would only sign up for opening a "request for enhancement". We didn't pursue it here, so chances are good it's still broken.
That's not acceptable.
I understand it may be a RM6 problem, or a Checkpoint problem (their windows cause the same behavior), or an EMC problem (their GUI seems to have problems, too), but why are other window managers able to handle the problem and not FVWM?
It's forcing people like me to have to abandon FVWM, which sucks, but I have no choice. I can't work on the things I need to work on if the windows don't stay up.
