Yes: on my laptop I have fvwm2-2.4.6-1 (standard from RH 7.3) and
fvwm 2.5.3-devel from CVS, and I'm sure I'm picking up the 2.5.3-devel.
I discovered that I was using the 2.5.3 modules instead of the 2.5.3-devel
ones, but fixing this had no effect on the focus stuff.
I checked out a new fvwm tree from scratch, and rebuild and installed from
there, same problems. I also tried to remove ConfigFvwmDefaults, without
success.
Some good news:
a) I found thet problem 1 is a 'consequence' of problem 2, i.e. if I put
the 'Style * ClickToFocus' after all other Styles statements (with the
cavead described below), then GrabFocus is indeed the default for
ClickToFocus.
b) I found that problem 3 is not a real one: I was moving the 'Style *
ClickToFocus' line after a 'Style FvwmPager NeverFocus', and then I was
using the Pager to change desk, and of course the window was losing its
focus. Sorry for this additional unwanted 'noise'.
In the end, the problem can be reduced to the fact with a .fvwm2rc like:
Style * Icon unknown1.xpm
Style * ClickToFocus
clicks work (i.e. a click on W both focusses and raises)
Style * ClickToFocus
Style * Icon unknown1.xpm
clicks fail (i.e. a click on W only focusses).
At least, for me :-( ...
cheers,
Giuseppe.
