Actually, this appears the same as #746[1]. In particular see
https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=746#101 which is the same error in German.

Klaus reported it to Debian[2]. He also worked around[3] by downgrading
libx11-6, libx11-data and libx11-xcb1.

Control: reassign -1 fvwm

This has no been reported against fvwm, with backported fix.

Reasigning and updating forwarded bug.
