I started with SloppyFocus,  but soon changed to MouseFocus,  because of the
following problem:

  I used to switch from page to page within the desktop with the keyboard.  When
the cursor ended up in the root window, the window in the now invisible page
kept being selected. Most often this was the emacs, which, by accident, received
the next key, instead of the xterm they where intended for.

  Maybe this has changed with fvwm2.
