I'm having a problem where my menus' submenus aren't being erased
before a new transparency/translucency is computed.  In creating a
stripped down version of my config, I have noticed that the problem
only occurs when menus overlap firefox.  If the popup overlaps a
firefox window and an xterm, only the portion overlapping firefox is
messed up.

This will sound a bit confusing, but this is what happens:
If I have a given menu, and select an item from the menu which pops up
a submenu, and then select an item above the current item that also
opens a submenu (still from the same original menu), I get the new
menu being drawn over top of the old menu and it doesn't completely
erase the old submenu.

I'm using gentoo, kernel 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 on a p4 3.2Ghz with 2GB RAM
however, I have the same problem on my home system (AMD 3200 xp+, 1.5
GB RAM, kernel 2.6.9).  fvwm version 2.5.12 with 'support for:
ReadLine, XPM, PNG, Shape, XShm, SM, XRender, XFT, NLS'

I have attached a stripped down version of my .fvwm2rc file.
Using the stripped down config, I can recreate the error by opening
firefox, then left-clicking on the root menu, next to a firefox
window, select the Systems menu, and then select Apps.  The Apps menu
will pop up before the Systems menu has been erased.

Any ideas why this happens?  Is this a bug in the translucent style? 
Am I using the translucent style incorrectly?

Any help is appreciated.
