With fvwm2 the autoraise is done by the separate FvwmAuto module (man page text
below).  If you don't want autoraise, don't run FvwmAuto in your .fvwm2rc file.

NAME

FvwmAuto - the FVWM auto-raise module   

SYNOPSIS

FvwmAuto is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work. An appropriate
invocation from fvwm looks like: 


Module FvwmAuto 200


or, from a menu: Popup "Module-Popup" 
        Title   "Modules" 
        Module  "GoodStuff"     GoodStuff 
        Module  "NoClutter"     FvwmClean 
        Module  "FvwmIdentify"  FvwmIdent 
        Module  "Banner"        FvwmBanner 
        Module  "Debug"         FvwmDebug 
        Module  "SaveDesktop"   FvwmSave 
        Module  "AutoRaise"     FvwmAuto 200 EndPopup 

The numeric argument is required. It specified how long a window must retain the keyboard input
focus before it is raised. The delay is measured in milliseconds, and any integer 0 or greater is
acceptable.
