I see. EWMH is indeed the culprit. Gimp sends an "activate
window" message to fvwm which in turn switches to the window's
desk by running the EWMHActivateWindowFunc function:
DestroyFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc
AddToFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc I Iconify Off
+ I Focus
^^^^^^^^^
+ I Raise
+ I WarpToWindow 50 50
The !FPFocusByFunction works because it disables the Focus
function which switches desks.
You can replace this with something like
DestroyFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc
AddToFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc I ThisWindow (!Gimp*) Iconify Off
+ I ThisWindow (!Gimp*) Focus
+ I ThisWindow (!Gimp*) Raise
+ I ThisWindow (!Gimp*) WarpToWindow 50 50
Or with current CVS (I had to fix a bug first):
DestroyFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc
AddToFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc
+ I ThisWindow (Gimp*) break
+ I Iconify Off
+ I Focus
+ I Raise
+ I WarpToWindow 50 50
