>Description:
Using fvwm95:
When an error occurs, such as "file not found" because a menu item maps to an app not yet built, or a SCSI error, a message appears on the screen, but not in a window - this scrambles the screen.
>How-To-Repeat:
add a bogus menu item, and click on it
eg, add this to your .fvwm95rc in the

*FvwmButtons(Title barf, Icon rbomb.xpm, Action 'Exec barf')
(No application such as barf installed :-)

do startx
then click on the button

Obviously, you don't need to run fvwm95, but may need to have some kind of window manager, I don't know.
