14 No idea what's the cause, but I had success with a small script contain-
15 ing:
16
17 fvwm --replace &
18 while sleep 1 && ! ps -efu rainer | grep FvwmIconMan | grep -qv grep
19 do :
20 done
21 sleep 1
22 xterm -geometry 80x40+0+0 -xrm "*Page:0 0 0" &
23
24 This script is in turn started upon login via Xfce's "Application Auto-
25 start" tab of the "Settings -> Session and Startup" menu. If you don't
26 start "FvwmIconMan" in your "~/.fvwm/config" file, replace it in the ab-
27 ove "grep" command with a module you do start.

29 Hope that helps.
