Package: fvwm2 Version: 2.1.10-2 I have my FvwmButtons in the top right corner of the screen. The default back color is gray75, but the first item is a swisswatch, whose back color I set to the same as the desktop, so it looks like it's floating on the background. As of this latest version of fvwm2, the swisswatch shows up with gray75 as its back color instead. This worked correctly in the immediately previous version of fvwm2 (2.0.46BETA, or something like that, I think). The relevant part of .fvwm2rc is:
