It's like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut. All this
additional code just because of *one* buggy application? Complex
functions already provide a far better solution.

Right. The hack I made to inform FvwmAuto of the pointer entering
the root window was too aggressive. I've modified it a bit and it
should now cooperate nicely with gv.

It depends on timing. It was worth a try.
