Well, it is probably not the same problem then...This problem started
for me with FVWM 2.5... As I wrote in another message in this thread,
it doesn't happen when I remove the following lines from my .fvwm2rc:

# For auto-raise:
*FvwmEvent: enter_window "Silent SelectiveRaise"
*FvwmEvent: leave_window "Silent SelectiveLower"

# Functions to auto-raise / auto-lower only some specific windows:
DestroyFunc SelectiveRaise
AddToFunc SelectiveRaise
        + I WindowId $0 (!raised "FvwmIconMan") Raise
        + I WindowId $0 (!raised "FvwmButtons") Raise
        + I WindowId $0 (!raised "xclock") Raise
        + I WindowId $0 (!raised "xexec") Raise

DestroyFunc SelectiveLower
AddToFunc SelectiveLower
        + I WindowId $0 (raised "FvwmIconMan") Lower
        + I WindowId $0 (raised "FvwmButtons") Lower
        + I WindowId $0 (raised "xclock") Lower
        + I WindowId $0 (raised "xexec") Lower

The enter_window/leave_window events are new to FVWM 2.5, so that's
it...

I put these lines foir certain windows to be automatically raised and
lowered when the mouse pointer enters and leaves them...
