My problem is klipper program does not appear on screen.

Starting from cold boot Linux debian5hda 2.6.26-1-686 with default FVWM
version 2.5.26
opening to the as issued background with only one 16 pane pager, and of
course the banner for a short time.

I trigger an xterm from the FVWM Root menu and set a background with
Esetroot.
Then start 'klipper' from the FVWM root menu:
+                        "&K. Klipper"          Exec exec klipper
Using Style:
Style klipper     NoTitle, Sticky, WindowListSkip
--
Klipper does not appear on screen in any pane.
It does show in PS with a pid running.
---
If I change the style to:
Style klipper     NoTitle, Sticky

Then on the next boot it will appear on the window list only. If I
select it from the WindowList it will magically appear in every pane
as I wanted to begin with, so it is usable and this is not an earth
shaking problem for me but it is perplexing, and I have been trying to
find the answer, however 'non appearing programs' doesn't google
anything I can recognize?

Klipper runs outside of the FVWM tree above as do the Eterms, possably
because it is a KDE program, but then why does 'krusader' list on the
tree?
If this is a brain dead question, don't holler at me, I am an old man
who can't remember what I know. 8-)
