I made a patch to fvwm95-2 which allows me to
	- Raise window with left mouse button click
	- Set focus (_No raise_ ) with middle mouse button click
	- Lower window  with right mouse click

but it needed patches to sources. As far as i know it can't be done
with just changing .fvwmrc or even with CLICK_MODE_1

When i have time, i'll finish the patch and release it, but it is not
going to happen this weekend :)

BTW, rob thanks for fvwm. I love it.
