Indeed, this does help. Nevertheless, the logic how the keys are
working is, hmm, strange.

Consider the following screen layout:


   oxxxxxxxo
   +-----+
   | |
   +-----+
   .


`o' in the left edge is the pager, `o' in the right is the clock. The
large window is xterm (with mc running in it), the `xxxxxx' is a
small, elongated window with xterm (being a bit higher than the clock
and the pager), and the dot symbolizes an iconofied xterm (with mc).

If I click on the iconofied xterm, `Direction North' brings me to the
pager instead to the xterm window. Why? In the man page it is
written that `closer objects are considered a better match'.

If `Lenience' is deactivated, and I click on the iconofied xterm,
`Direction North' gives nothing, but `Direction East' brings me to the
large xterm window.

I can't follow this logic :-) Just for reference, I've attached my
.fvwm2rc file.
