I have noticed this on the FvwmPager and my workman windows. I use:
DeskTopSize 3x3
AddToFunc InitFunction "I" Module FvwmPager 0 0
Style "FvwmPager" StaysOnTop, CirculateSkip
Style "WorkMan" CirculateSkip, WindowListSkip
I say the pager does not get the focus because the window highlight
stays on the previous window, and if I start typing after the first
click in the pager the keystrokes go to the previous window.
To illustrate the point, I clicked on emamcs and it now has focus.
Now I will click on the pager.
I just clicked on the pager and the virtual window did not move.
I then started typing, and as you can see, the text is being sent
to this window.
Now to click on the pager again.
This time, the virtual window changed. The emacs window still has focus
since I can type without having to do anything else. As long as I don't
click anywhere else, each click in the pager window will cause the appropriate
thing to happen. If I click on another window, say the emacs one again,
the process repeats (ie the first click to the pager is lost).
I like the ClickToFocusDoesntPassClick option, but I find it unusable
with this little quirk.
