no, sorry. they aren't, but focus is mostly equivalent, except for sloppyfocus.
Well FvwmAuto does actually only listen to FocusChange events.
I now added a LeaveCommand, which is executed Timout milliseconds, after
the focus has left the window.
With SloppyFocus, this is not the same as a leave event: If you leave the
window, but don't enter another one - i.e: stay on root - focus doesn't
change.
It's quite fun to use
FvwmAuto 0 Nop iconify
together with
style "*" NoIcon
and the windowlist to open windows.
You can of course use lower instead.
Using
FvwmAuto 300 raise iconify
does somewhat more dramatic changes to the screen than raise alone.
Experiment.
More confusing actions via separate FvwmAuto's with separate timeouts.

PS to Kai: your problem is special. I still can't get a style flag out of
thin air. You could peruse circulateskip and windowlistskip flags, but the
problem is, there's no
if [!circulateskip] command
and the
FvwmAuto 300 "Next [!circulateskip,windowid $w] command"
doesn't work yet (timout, I'll have to be in the barracks at 24:00).
- maybe soon (no more changes in FvwmAuto, but bugfixes for the circulate
option parsing part of fvwm2)
have fun,
albrecht
