I haven't seen the icon weirdness, but the CTRL-ARROW (which is how I
have it bound) behaves exactly as you describe; again, only after "a
while." It seems more likely to happen if I've been using acroread. To
make it work right again I don't have to log out, just get out of X and
"startx" again. 

I assumed this was because I'm running ancient software - fvwm-1.24r
under 3.1R - but evidently it's still a problem. Drag.
