I wrote, asking about window managers for FreeBSD/alpha, because vtwm was
failing miserably ...

Indeed, the problem does not appear to lie with vtwm itself.  I can use the
FreeBSD/alpha vtwm as the window manager for my Ultrix machine (running MIT
X11R6) and it works just fine.  So it looks as though the genesis of the
problem is within XFree86 itself somewhere.
