The following bugs should have been fixed or similar in the new fvwm
package, which has just been installed. (It is version 2.2-1.) Also
listed are a couple of bugs/wishlist items which appear unlikely to be
fixed for the time being.
Please let me know if there are still problems with these bugs or,
indeed, any others.

FIXED
5736 "Restart /usr/bin/X11/afterstep" with two spaces doesn't
work.
FIXED
10862 Window order messed up on restarting fvwm; patch available
(already forwarded?)
FIXED
11824a Give focus to a window (Sloppy focus) and immediately call up a
menu in window => menu ends up buried as main window gains
focus (FvwmAuto too slow or something?).
FIXED
11861 Bad default main-menu-pre.hook
NOT OBSERVED UPSTREAM
11886a Sometimes the pager does not display a mapped window until it
is moved.
FIXED
11886c RaiseLower sometimes lowers not fully-raised windows instead of
raising them.
FIXED
16143 Apparent interaction between WinList and having handles/
non-zero BorderWidth causes WinList to drift.
FIXED
18576 FvwmButtons doesn't exit and eats all processor time when
leaving X with ctl-alt-bksp.
FIXED
20444 Restarting fvwm seems to shift some windows slightly; perhaps
to do with miscalculating the save set? Something to do with
non-zero border width?
FIXED
20831 Pager balloon patch: shows balloons when over a window in the
pager. (Wishlist; patch included.)
FIXED (with ColorLimit in config file)
22286 Problems with colourful menu icons on an 8-bit display; should
fvwm2 be responsible for filtering them to a small colour set?
FIXED
24135 Purging fvwm2 doesn't remove all files.
FIXED
32796 Path problems in menu file and hook files missing.
FIXED
32939 Contains /usr/bin but doesn't use it.
FIXED
33109 Registers itself as icewm.
FIXED
33755 Should have used register-windows-manager
FIXED
34149 Same as 32796
"CLOSE AS FIXED" (BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT'S UP WITH BINDINGS)
18003 Irregularities for key bindings for Tab etc; C-M-Tab doesn't
seem to work properly; want Mouse 2 I A Iconify in
system.fvwm2rc; what happened to C/M-<arrow key>? (Debian specific?)
FIXED
21097 Gravity patch for IconBox wanted in main fvwm2.
FIXED
32795 FvwmPager should be started before user's post.hook in
system.fvwm2rc. (Debian specific?)
WON'T BE FIXED -- TOO WIDGET SPECIFIC
8785 FVWM unaware of ability to drag windows around by using their
static areas if they are Athena widgets.
MOVEMENT: middle mouse button; wordwrap: probably not
8954 FvwmPager should allow windows to be moved in it => windows
moving in main window. Also, could wordwrap titles in Pager.
DONE (except for default?)
14791 MenuStyle should default to fvwm, not mwm. The behaviour of
menus at the right side of the screen could do with
improvement.
SHOULD BE FIXED
21547 Root menu bound to button with "Mouse 0 3 A Menu /Debian Nop",
but then submenus' positions depend on where button clicked --
may end up too far left/right. Only problem with MWM style?
CAN'T/WONT FIX:
Not the responsibility of the Windows manager, but of the X Server.
Also, can't be done in a way which makes all applications happy.
25601 Would like a possibility of keyboard mouse button emulation.
fvwm-common bugs
