FVWM: Alt-tab

Ah yes, the infamous alt-tab. I for one cannot live without it working
correctly, and I was very happy to see that FVWM had made an attempt at
implementing it. However, I'm not satisfied, as they seem to have
complicated it unecessarily. :) What I expect from alt-tab is to get a
window list on my screen (this works), which is sorted in
last-active-order (I think this works, too), wherein the second window
is selected (this does not work, the first window (the one I'm already
in) is selected, and instead there's a timeout for quick switches). So
for quick alt-tabbing between two windows, FVWM's implementation works,
but for getting to a third window in the list (alt-tab-tab, release) (or
any other window), it doesn't work at all like expected, instead it
brings me to the second window on the second press of tab, unless I wait
a while, for some reason.

So I guess my question is, can I make it behave more closely in
accordance with that other GUI?
