This is really an issue with Xephyr and Xnest ...
Please try 2.5.0_beta2 on your SnowLeopard machine (why are you still on 10.6.1???) and let me know if it reproduces.

Under system 10.6.1, the fvwm2 crashed, while under 10.5.8 it seems to continue to run, albeit with a missing "w" key. Under 10.6.1, while fvwm2 works for a while, when there are more than a few windows open, I start getting messages about missing fonts and bad control items in IDL. (Not at the 10.6.1 desk top right now, but I can get the exact error messages from both IDL and from the terminal that openned fvwm2 if needed.)
