Are you sure? The code is do_windowList in windows.c. It seems that the
stock action is to to call RAISE_IT on the window, which doesn't warp the
pointer. This is in fvwm 2.0.43, I haven't upgraded for a while. I think
I added code so it would warp to the window if you were using pointer focus,
but I can't quite remember what I did exactly. When I get home from work
today I'll check my code.
