FVWM: AutoFocus?

I've looked high and low and can't find any way to do the following
(tho' I know there HAS to be a way to do it using fvwm2)...

Even though I use SloppyFocus/FocusFollowsMouse, I want to be able to
specify that certain windows, when they appear, HAVE IMMEDIATE FOCUS...
ie, w/o having to move the mouse into them.

Something like:

   Style "foo" AutoFocus [delay]

where delay might be a timeout for focus to return to where the mouse/
cursor is at the time that the window "foo" appeared.

This would be extremely useful for those of us who have become
accustomed to keyboard equivalents and shortcuts.

Sometimes I have "foo" windows come up that need nothing other than for
me to press enter...but, I have to go move the cursor within the window
that just appeared.

Thanks for your help (kudos go to those that actually know the answer to
this :^).
