not me - next time I might possibly see a computer is mon/tuesday, but
probably not.

not reported 'till now.
On a quick look (it's 0:26) my FvwmAuto doesn't do that.

move from 1 over 2 to 3, open menu, before 2 is raised,
(menu overlaps both windows just a little bit, so you can tell the exact
order)
stay in menu as long as you like, nothing is raised over the menu.
exit menu -> 2 is raised over 1.

The raise is delayed until the menu is closed, no strange behaviour found.

I still have to rename all FvwmManPath settings to FvwmManDir settings,
but X11R4 is the least common denominator here (mix of X11R4, R5 & R6 sun
workstations).
So this could be our local setup.

so there's a new Auto & Audio (dateed Jan 18th) out there right now, but
only minor fixies. :-)
SO THERE !

we're all hoping for a new synced release.
(andrew hasn't made any upgrade patches for his andrew3.2.0.44.diff, which
I applied to my working tree. - guess I'll have to do it by hand, or wait
for 2.0.45 or 2.0.44.1)

cheers,
