| For "m" in your function to work, FVWM should see a press, not a release.

That is not at all the same... I want to drag the window, not have it
attached until I click again.

I see I've not made myself clear. The point I'm trying to make is that
the alt-tab use of windowlist should be independent of the mouse
pointer, not warping the pointer to the windowlist, or necessarily
having the windowlist pop up under the pointer. I do alt-tab quickly to
get from one window to the next, but if I'm moving the mouse while this
happens, the pointer ends up in the wrong place in the windowlist before
I release alt, bringing me to some other window than the one I was going
for. I'm not sure I can explain this any better. :) The option I would
want is something like DontUseTheMousePointerInWindowListAtAll. :)
