fvwm2.2.2

The configuration file: (I am assuming here, my .fvwm2rc.  If this
isn't what you wanted, then please specify.)  This is actually a
standard system install version.  I have not made any significant
changes to it.  I'd rather not post this to the entire list, it's 
too large.

I am thinking perhaps this is related to video/monitor definitions
in XF86Config.  Is that possible?

Thanks so much for your help re: this.
