Now, this assumes that the embedded rxvt has SloppyFocus, no? Otherwise, just
because the mouse cursor is over it, how does this cause the rxvt to receive
focus in a ClickToFocus setup?

BTW, that's an elegant way to force, or at least strongly suggest that any
replies go to the list. (In his email to me, Dominik set the From: field to
"Dominik Vogt <fvwm_at_fvwm.org>") Short and sweet.
