Another fix is to make uwm obey it's own conventions. For example
specify that an event should be handled by uwm in a root only context.
Then have uwm respond to this event only when the mouse is over the
root window,  and let the other applications get this event first when
the mouse is over their window.

We made this change to uwm, and everyone in our area is running the
modified uwm.  It works fine.  We added a total of 30 lines of code to
uwm in scattered places.  If anyone wants these changes I will be glad
to submit them in some appropriate form to an appropriate place, (or
perhaps set up an anonymous ftp?).

For example here is an except from my .uwmrc file that allows me to
use the left mouse button to circle_up windows, without stealing the
left mouse button from application windows.  With a slightly modified
uwm the left mouse button as set here is context sensitive with
respect to the mouse position.  A left mouse button on the root window
will circle up,  and a left mouse button on an icon or window is
ignored by uwm to be handled by the application.

f.raise =      meta  : w|i    :left down
f.circleup =   meta  : r      :left down
f.moveopaque = meta  : w|i    :left delta
f.iconify =    meta  : w|i    :middle down
f.circleup =         : r      :left down
