It's a very difficult thing to do. One one hand, fvwm needs to
process the pointer events to decide if the click was meant for
the application or for fvwm. But when it receives the first
motion exent, the X server has already forgotten about the initial
click and the application will never get it. This works fine with
rxvt, but xterm and xemacs need the click to mark a region. Also,
since the click is lost for the application, a simple click is no
longer handled by the application, i.e. if you click on a button
or menu in the application it is raised, but the click does not
work on the button or menu.

Success! :-D
I found a way to implement this. Try
Style * MouseFocusClickIgnoreMotion
I don't recommend to use this feature in conjunction with mouse
bindings on the client part of the windows ('W' context). This
will probably fail utterly.
