The dclock probably has set the hint :

WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS):
                Client accepts input or input focus: False
 
xclock does this, so I bet dclock does too.

This means that the clock should not ever get the keyboard focus. Most window
managers ignore this property, because a number of applications set it
incorrectly. So, fvwm tried to move the focus from an xterm to the clock,
but found that the clock did not want focus. At this point one could argue
about whether the focus should move to root or back to the xterm, but I don't
think that it matters much. If want the standard broken behavior (give focus to
the clock), then you need to set
Style "*" Lenience
or just
Lenience
depending on which version of fvwm you have.
