Works for me. Middle mouse button raises the corresponding window
and gives it the focus, left and right buttons move left/right in
the pager. Maybe this is a configuration issue? I don't think I
have anything unusual regarding the pager in my .fvwm2rc.

The mouse button has a different state when Caps Lock is on. Change
the "modifiers" entry on whichever mouse binding this is to "A" for
"Any" and that should make CapsLock+Button1 work. It will also of
course bind Control+Button1 and Shift+Button1...

Hmmm... seems a heck of a lot smoother than most "fully released"
window managers I've used (olwm, twm, 4Dwm, and their virtual-screen
brethren). I think at this point the main problem is getting all
the features fully explained to the users... :-)
