tried 2, 3 times, worked fine when it failed everytime before.
it looks like a race condition. my machine is heavily loaded,
i can't reproduce the bug on lightly loaded machines. 
(i have 500M of ram, and i use 1G of swap, and i often
reach the maximum clients x can have, 256 for me on debian)
(thanks to the wonderful pager of fvwm, i'm able to use my ressources :-> 10x7x4)

|What does the $FVWM_USERDIR/.fvwmtabs.state file look like after

looks good :

createNewTabber();
$fvwm->send("Move 0p 0p", $tabWin{0}{selfId});
$fvwm->send("MoveToDesk 0 0", $tabWin{0}{selfId});
addTab(0, 67108880);
addTab(0, 75497488);
showTab(0, 0);

but it's not a real test with 4x4 terms.

i think Ctrl-Alt-K & then Ctrl-Alt-S in the key.

thanks for your help

bye
