Using the old configure option --with-session (or new
--with-wmcommand) means that DEVICE_X_WM_COMMAND_FRAME is not set.
This is default in 21.1/21.2. (The command is set for device (with
XSetCommand), not for frames themselves.) (It also means that -xrm
"*Desk: 1" does not work for fvwm anymore.)
Compiling --with-session=no should help.
