Ah, I see. This is a problem I have had before. It is about Fvwm and
16-bit colordepth. You'll have to change a setting in your .fvwmrc or
system.fvwmrc. Try to add this somewhere:
---- cut here ----
#
# Colors are XOR'ed with this value when windows are moved with
# rubber-band outline.
# This value is 2^32 -1 which should normally be good and change all
# colors to 'negative', i.e. black to white vice versa.
XORvalue 4294967295
---- end cut ----
Do 'man fvwm95' for more info.
The same problem applies to Fvwm-2, as Fvwm95 is nothing more than Fvwm-2
with a special config file and some nice icons.
