I've been using vtwm for a few days now; I think I like it.  However, I have
noticed one strange result on certain clients (xmh, xman) which use the 
SimpleMenu and MenuButton widgets.  It is this: if the client has been moved
with the virtual desktop (*not* with f.move), the menus pop up in strange
locations.  If the client has been moved a long way, the menus appear in the
corners of the screen.  It can be rather disorienting.

This behavior goes away if the client is moved with f.move -- even if just
a pixel or two.

Strange.  Any ideas?
