If you use ClickToFocus, GrabFocusTransient is the default.
What application do you run?

You may have a problem if you define SloppyFocus/MouseFocus for your
window, then you should reissue GrabFocusTransient after SloppyFocus.
Or maybe you listen to add_window in FvwmEvent and then do something.

Does your problem occur with a minimal configuration, i.e. if you run:

  fvwm -cmd "Style * ClickToFocus, DecorateTransient"

I just did:

  Restart /opt/fvwm-2.4/bin/fvwm -cmd "Style * ClickToFocus"

and it works well, transients automatically get focus.

Mikhael.
