Thanks for the help. In fact there was a wrong command
in my .fvwm2rc configuration file: there was a
AddToFunction instead of an AddToFunc command:
AddToFunc SelectWindow
+ I Focus
+ I Iconify false
+ I Raise
With the wrong AddToFunction command, it seems that
FVWM was executing the other three lines, which made
it wait for a mouse click.
