I am not too sure who's to blame for this.  Whilst not all the EWMH are
supported in FVWM, given the error you have below, I can only assume this
to be an error on behalf of the application.

This makes sense to me.  I don't have my Xlib programming book -- so I
hope someone will correct me if I am a little inaccurate.  As far as I
know, BadWindow errors are typically thrown from functions that
manipulate things like XSizeHints (hence as an example, the 
XSetWMSizeHints() function).  In this case, what I assuming to tbe the
error is that the window is probably trying to keep a track of its size,
but fails because the parameters passed to whichever function is being
used fails to specify the correct Window parameter.

That being the case, I can only conclude it's a bug with the
application.  

How correct am I with that, anyone?
