1. I've seen the problem (and should fix it, since I'm the Debian
maintainer for fvwm95)
2. The taskbar is being raised in a series of XMoveWindow calls, by
two pixels each call. I can try to make that an option in the next
Debian fvwm95 package; howver, there's much to do with getting
Debian's versioning back in sync with the upstream source, among other
things, so this may wait.
3. I don't know of a simple solution (I rarely use the
TaskBarAutoHide myself.) I'll see if I can disable some X events on
the TaskBar as it's moving, but this could cause other problems.
