How about what I suggested - making it a style - if the window has
that style applied, FvwmAuto will automatically raise and lower it,
otherwise it won't? Or maybe make the list of windows to automatically
raise and lower a parameter for FvwmAuto? Is there a problem doing so?
And also, it would be useful to provide some option to disable the
grabbing of the pointer in specific functions.

I suppose you mean -menter here, as in the FvwmAuto manual page I see
no mention of an option named '-enter'...

I do not know what it might be, but here this behaves really weird.
I replaced the '-menterleave' option with '-menter', and do not see
any change. Auto-raised windows are still lowered when the pointer
enters the root window, and the problem with gv isn't solved.

I tried that too. Does not make any difference either. The menu still
immediately disappears.

Another weird thing, since updating from CVS a few days ago, FvwmPager
behaves a bit weird. Inactive windows (windows not having the focus)
have a black background, and look rather different than they used to
(they used to have the background color defined in the BackColor
style).
