You may configure fvwm so this is a normal behaviour and may configure
fvwm so this does not happen.

An ideal report/question looks like this:

  1) My fvwm version is x.y.z. [Other relevant info if you think it may
     contribute to the problem.]
  2) Here is a minimal rc file that reproduces my problem.
     [Several fvwm commands (seven or so) follow.]
  3) Run fvwm with this minimal file instead of .fvwm2rc and
     press Ctrl-Alt-X. After doing this I expect some window to get
     focus, instead another window [which one?] is focused.

Also please name all things their own names. You say "list", "fvwmlist",
"fvwmwinlist", do you mean FvwmWinList in all cases or something else?

BTW, try:

  Style FvwmWinList NeverFocus

Mikhael.
