Friedrichs,
Yes, the two machines are identical; only the WM is different. I am
executing on a Sparc Sun-Fire V440, running Solaris 8. I use a RealVNC
VNC Server as my X Server and a Tight VNC client from a Win2k PC as my
client. Executing a VNC Server with twm as the WM works fine (as does CDE as
I previously posted). Older versions of FVWM with the same VNC Server also
work fine.
The output of xdpyinfo is as follows:
