FVWM: Desktop scrolling not working with KDE open dialog box

[Jake Moe]

I'm having a weird issue I'm hoping someone can help with. I've got a
single 3x3 desktop, and I've left off edge resistance so I can flip
between them easily. This works fine most of the time, but recently, I
believe with updating KDE to 4.6.2, I've noticed this problem. When I
have a KDE app (or possibly any QT app, I'm not sure where exactly the
distinction lies; it happens with SMplayer as well, which I don't
believe is strictly a KDE app, but a QT app) open and try to open a file
(or save a new file), when the dialog box is up, the mouse (and focus)
is on that dialog box, and I try to move my mouse up to the "upper"
page, it flicks for a split second and then puts me back on the page
with the KDE/QT app. If, while the dialog box is open, I let the mouse
rest for a moment on the application, the app gets focus for a split
second, and then the dialog seems to take it back. Then when I move the
mouse off the top of the page, it works fine.

It seems to only be limited to QT/KDE, but I have no idea if it's a
"bug" in FVWM, or a "feature" in KDE that needs disabling. Does anyone
have any ideas?

Distro is Gentoo, FVWM version is "fvwm 2.6.1 compiled on May 23 2011 at
18:40:17 with support for: ReadLine, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm, SM,
XRender, XCursor, XFT, NLS", and my config is attached.

Any thoughts?

I can't reproduce this.
