If it were a window manager bug I would expect it to happen in all
applications.  And yet, as I said, I've used these WMs with hundreds of
applications using tens of GUI interfaces (straight X, Xaw, Motif,
Lesstif, XForms, etc. etc.) and not seen any problems.

Maybe it has something to do with the extra Gnome WM hints or something,
as they're interpreted in FVWM.

In any case, it's not a simple case of unclutter vs. FVWM.  It _may_ be
a triumvirate of unclutter, FVWM, and some GUI libraries.

That's an easy answer, unfortunately the functionality that unclutter
implements is really important to me and X simply does not provide any
better way to implement it.  If you think otherwise I'd sure like to
hear about it.
