This is a bug in gnome-panel. The gnome-panel should remove, at exit, some animation hints on the windows represeneted in the gnome-panel taskbar. It does not do that. > I'm guessing that -- without whichever gnome-panel seems to provide -- > FvwmAnimate doesn't 'know' the animation 'direction' (that is up or > down or whatever), and so doesn't do anything.
