This is a problem I give the highest priority now.

Today, I tested this line of code:
> BugOpts TransliterateUtf8 True

It does not solve my problem with FVWM version 2.5.26
(because this option doesn't exist there),
but it solved my problem with FVWM version 2.5.30.

Now, I have a really good reason to manually compile
and install a new FVWM version on my Debian Lenny based
productive systems since they are still more bug free then
newer Debian Squeeze based systems (where I have to find a
lot of workarounds first before I will be happy with them).

That version is not supported.  I know Debian is falling behind something
chronic with keeping up to date, but I won't want to hear any bug reports
from you which aren't against either 2.6.3 or more preferrably the CVS
version taken from branch-2_6.

I plan to use at least KVM and FVWM directly from upstream on
further systems, because these packages are the most important.

But, the idea of a distribution like Debian is to get
stable software onto the computer by typing
"apt-get install something". Each exception I have to make
erodes the whole idea of a ready-to-use Linux distribution.

My Wheezy and Sid systems, wich were up-to-date during
Christmas, also come with FVWM "2.5.30". This seems to be
true until now:

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/fvwm
--> fvwm (1:2.5.26-1)

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/fvwm
--> fvwm (1:2.5.30.ds-1)

http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/fvwm
--> fvwm (1:2.5.30.ds-1)

http://packages.debian.org/sid/fvwm
--> fvwm (1:2.5.30.ds-1 and others) 

Does anybody know why even Sid is behind schedule that much?

Use a different distro?

The maintainer often goes AWOL; this is not news, and anyone who's really
wanting to use FVWM via apt-get just build their own .deb file.

Either way, go pester Manoj about this, as I have done so many times
already, but I care not to discuss such things here as they're off-topic.
