What you describe suggests that at least two applications (FvwmPager and fvwm itself) have gone crazy at the same time. This is extremely unlikely to happen, since both programs are fairly independent of each other. Chances are good you encountered a bug in the X server itself that surfaces under obscure circumstances only. Can you try a different version of the X server? (By the way, most of all the weird, ureproducible problems people have are on Sun systems. This may be a hint that the X server isn't very stable).
