This isn't a problem specific to fvwm, I saw it in twm also, but it is driving me nuts.
I just switched to an amd64 system. I'm using xinerama to have 2 1600x1200 displays side by side. When I ssh into a remote host ahd have x11 forwarding turned on, whenever I try to open any application that would open a window, it doesn't open properly or render to the displays. If the application would have a border, I just get the border and inside I just see the background of the display, and it gets dragged around as I drag the border around. If I don't have a window manager running (fvwm2) there's no problem. I've tried twm also. I tried building fvwm2 with no xinerama support and that didn't improve anything. I'm running: FVWM version 2.4.16 compiled on May 12 2005 at 09:37:12 with support for: ReadLine, XPM, GNOME WM hints, Shape, SM, Xinerama I've tried much more recent fvwm2 and all versions have the same problem. Details: AMD64 system X.org server X Window System Version 6.8.2 fvwm 2.4.16 and all others nv and nvidia drivers both tried, no difference Video cards are 2 geforce2 mx400 pci cards Problem only arises with X11 forwarding over ssh Problem goes away if I don't run a window manager Problem occurs with twm also In order to clean up the frame that's left sitting there I need to execute some command on the remote host to kill the application. The frame stays around. Then I pop up the "Destroy" icon Window Ops item and click on the frame, then it goes away. If anyone has any clue as to where the problem might reside, please let me know.
