I had tested the patch on -HEAD too, and it worked. Just tested it again.
Same result: both twm and evilwm (they don't install a SIGALRM handler)
stay alive. ctwm, which handles SIGALRM, doesn't experience this issue.

Could you:

1. Email me your ~/.fluxbox/ directory; and ~/.xinitrc, ~/.xsession?

2. Tell me which login shell you use?

3. Does startx have this problem on -HEAD too?
