I have noticed that when one logs out of a X-window session, if you try
to switch over to one of the other consoles (using ATL-CTRL F1/F2 or F3)
you can wipe the three of them out and only the X-window will remain.  
Anyone know why this happens?  (It is only a minor annoyance, the
easiest
fix is to just wait until I see the login prompt again before trying to
go to one of the other windows... and it only seems to happen on
logout).

BTW: I am running 2.1.0 stable and fvwm (with Xfree86 of course).
