Can anyone explain why the fvwm window manager has been dropped in SL5?
I've searched and found no discussion apart from a remark at
http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/technisches_seminar/texte/sl3z.pdf that "we
probably can't fight UTF-8 any longer".  However, fvwm 2.5 claims "full
internationalization" and the man page makes a number of references to
utf-8, so that doesn't appear to be a complete explanation.

The tar file from the fvwm site compiles with no problems and runs as it
always has, as far as I can see.
