Nope....Personally, I can't stand AutoRaise. I like to stack windows,
using those which are partially exposed for inputs and others which are
closer to the top as monitors (in the control system for our electron
accelerator, for instance). I use focus-follows-mouse. The source of my
Motif widget problem seems to be that mouse-hits popping up these menus
also induce a window-raise command, which is usually but (of late) not
always executed *after* the menu popup. (I don't know how to do X [or
even C; i'm illiterate] programming or I'd probably figure out how to fix
this myself, either in the relevant Motif programs or in fvwm's Motif-ish
modes). Oh well, maybe when the accelerator is finally perfect.... I'm
currently thinking the problem is not a direct consequence of Motif, but
of the way the affected apps are written. However, since mwm/HPVUE
handle them well even though fvwm/twm don't, there must be a way.
