I believe this has to do with how png stores the transparency data. Some icons have an alpha channel, which is (unfortunately) currently ignored by default fvwm. On the other hand, "binary" transparent png's are correctly shaped. If you select an argb visual and activate a composite manager, then things change a bit. The otherwise well-behaved "binary transparent" png's display garbage at the transparent parts. But alpha channel'ed pngs start displaying correctly.

I'm not sure how you managed to get that kind of a "mixed symptoms", but we're waiting for your feedback on that ;) Cheers, Renato
