When I use iceweasel (firefox) to view intel website and use alt+tab to switch windows on zh_CN.GBK locale, the X crashed, but if on UTF-8 locale, it work well.
Is it X that crashed? Or did an application die and take X with it? Is there a core file from which you can provide a backtrace? [1] Can you see if the problem is reproducable using FVWM 2.5.21 (since this is the latest Unstable FVWM version.)
– Thomas Adam
[1] You might have to ensure you allow corefile creation:
It not because of Firefox. It is because the fvwm(zh_CN.GBK) can’t deal with the some character which fvwm can’t display, for example if the Chinese filename of UTF encoding, and my locale is zh_CN.GBK, it will crash.
warning: core file may not match specified executable file.
warning: Can’t read pathname for load map: Input/output error.

My font config:

Thank you.
I have rebuiled fvwm from the fvwm source modified by debian, and add -g(mparams = CFLAGS="-O2 -g") to configure configure.ac Makefile.{am,in}, debian/Makefile.{am,in}.
OK – I see the error, although it’s in a slightly odd place. Can you keep your locale settings as they are (i.e. zh_CN.GBK) and open FvwmConsole, typing:
PrintInfo Locale 2
The output is going to either appear in FvwmConsole, or in ~/.xsession-errors if you’ve redirected any output, for instance.
What is the significance of “//TRANSLIT”? Does it mean something specific to iconv? If the only reason you’ve added it is to avoid passing in NULL, this is completely the wrong thing to do.
gnu.org/software/libiconv/do … pen.3.html
When the string “//TRANSLIT” is appended to tocode, transliteration is activated. This means that when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or several characters that look similar to the original character.
