Hi there.

Well, I suppose this isn't the only buggy application.
Is it that much code to add for that?

Yeah, I suppose... But they don't provide a solution for what I need
here, yet...

Cool... This seems to cooperate nicely with gv now, working just the
way I like it... This still does lower auto-raised windows when the
pointer leaves them for the root window though, but that's actually
what I want... So when that is fixed, I will want something to have
the current behavior again.

Well, in my case, I use FVWM on more than one machine, quite many,
actually, in some different sites, so timing can vary...

I updated from CVS now, but it is still the same problem...

  Thank you very much... I'm advancing (with lots of help from you and
the FVWM team) somewhat here...
