OK, I finally found the answer to this question. I narrowed it down to *modal forms* not have a titlebar or borders on them, so you couldn't move or resize them. This only occurred under FVWM2 and was very annoying. Anyway, the issue is when a modal form (under X11) is set via the transient window hint. To correct this annoying behaviour under FVWM2 you have to tell the window manager to also decorate transient windows. In my setup, I had to edit the ~/.fvwm/globalfeel file and uncomment the line: Style * DecorateTransient Restart the window manager and modal forms now look normal!!! ;-) I thought I would share this tip for anybody else experiencing this issue under FVWM window manager. Should we maybe place this on a wiki page somewhere?
