I guess nobody ever thought of this problem. When the focus click
occurs, and ClickToFocusPassesClick is set, fvwm focuses the
window and passes the click to the application, but does not check
for bindings. Anyway, since the window will always get focus when
you do this, you just have to click on the windows once and can
use alt-click immediately afterwards.
