Hi Romano.

I tried replying to this earlier, before I realized my outgoing mail

If I do understand you correctly, it sounds an awful lot like a bug
that I have noticed but haven't got around to fixing yet. My version:
I have a small .xinitrc that starts an xterm and xsession, and
xsession starts up my development version of fvwm2. The xterm is
given the focus, but if I pop up a menu before doing anything else,
the focus shifts to the xsession window when the menu dissappears
(first time only). Clicking in the xterm (I use click to focus)
before bringing up the menu stops this.

And if I restart, no window has the focus initially, but bringing up
(then down) a menu causes the xsession window to get the focus.

I have a rough idea what the problem might be, and I'll look into it
for 2.0.44.
