Are you trying to say that in ClickToFocus mode a window manager would
automatically give the focus to any window which opens? You're kidding,
right? This would drive me completely insane.

I've been staying out of this, but I need to say one thing: this is a
mailing list for FVWM. I believe that there's an entire newsgroup for
window management issues, and if this isn't FVWM specific then I'd
appreciate everyone saving my bandwidth and moving to a more appropriate
place. (I host this list.)
