I have narrowed the problem down. The only windows that get cycled are ones
that have received focus since fvwm2 was started or restarted. Also, the
order of cycling changes when you use the mouse to give a window focus. I
personally would prefer the order to remain constant and predictable.

Works fine, great even. The current version of FvwmAuto raises a
window when a window receives focus, so they work together well. The
only strange thing is that SloppyFocus is in effect even though not
specified. This is ok because it is how one would expect ClickToFocus
to work: You click on a window to change focus.
