It evidently is. Refer to the thread: ``fvwm2 buttons stop working''
here in c.o.l.x to learn that you have company.

A search on Dejanews reveals that this is problem dating back a few
years. A number of suggestions have been posted including (but not
limited to):
- Make sure scroll/caps/num lock isn't on.
- Get the latest 2.0.46-12 rpm of fvwm2.
- Don't (or alternately do) link xterm against Xa3wd.
- Change your video card.
All of the above have been exercises in futility for me (likewise for
many of the Dejanews posters). About the only suggestion that may be
worthwhile pursuing is to change from "ClickrToFocus" to the default
of "MouseFocus".
