FVWM: Override Redirect windows

I am only running 1.24r but I was wondering if this
problem manifests itself under 2.042.

I have a window which defines itself as an override redirect
window. Now as far as I understand the window manager should
not manage these windows :-(

I cannot use any fvwm settings to make these StayOnTop or
that because fvwm isn't managing them.

The problem is that I cannot get the window to receive focus.
This occurs with both ClickToFocus & Focus follows mouse.
It is not in the windowlist, but fvwm can circle windows
behind/infront, so it knows a window is there.

As far as I was aware, the window manager should not manage it,
but it should not ignore the window.


Has anyone else experienced these problems or could offer
an explanation or solution
