I remember your last post then, and found it archived on the web at:
http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/archive/0204/msg00248.html

At the end of that message, you noted that this race condition can be
avoided using the new Schedule and Deschedule commands. Since then I
have made various experiments and tried many possibilities with it
(Schedule and Deschedule), and today I tried some more... But nothing
seemed to work as I expect... Mostly it just got FVWM stuck (waiting
for a click, with a cross-hair pointer) whenever entering a window
which should be raised.

You did not tell exactly how this can be solved with the Schedule and
Deschedule commands. I have been struggling with it and for some
reason just did not manage to get it right... Maybe I am missing
something obvious... Could you please provide some example, or more
detail on how exactly to do it?

I am using FVWM (2.5.3) from CVS, latest as for yesterday (last
updated yesterday).
