I have 2.0.42. I use FvwmIconMan. While I like it a lot, there's one
behavior that it doesn't have: When you put the mouse pointer in the
IconMan, on any specific window, that window doesn't have focus. With
*twm window managers you can tell it that if the mouse pointer is on a
window in the icon manager that window gets focus.

To reiterate Eli's problem. AFAIK, there is NO WAY in fvwm to get all
of the following simultaneously:
  - FocusFollowsMouse
  - Binding something to a key to Focus a window _without moving the
    mouse away from where it was when the key was pressed_.

Maybe we should introduce into Fvwm a distinction between Focus (only
change focus, do no move mouse pointer at all) and Warp (move the
mouse pointer into a window, optionally giving that window focus, too).
