One solution to this problem, would be to check the .fvwmrc file (or .fvwm2rc), The file should contain one of the following Style "*" ClickToFocus OR Style "*" MouseFocus ClickToFocus instructs fvwm to give the focus to the window when it is clicked in. MouseFocus tells fvwm to give the window the focus as soon as the pointer enters the window, and takes it away when the pointer leaves the window. There is also, 'SloppyFocus', which gains the focus when the pointer enters the window, however doesn't lose the focus if the pointer leaves the window to pass over the root window or a ClickToFocus window (unless you click on it, that is). (Im using X_SVGA server with fvwm version 2, and an S3 Virge (generic) compliant card.)
