Cool. I just got it set up and I like it! :-) There is only one problem:
FvwmIconMan goes nuts if 'unclutter' is running. In case you don't know,
unclutter is a cool little utility that hides the mouse pointer after so
many seconds of no mouse movement. Basically, after the unclutter timeout
expires (and the mouse is in FvwmIconMan, so it was responsible for maintaing
the focus on the window the mouse was pointing at) the focus rapidly comes
and goes from the window, until you move the mouse and make the cursor
appear again. If the unclutter timer expires when the mouse is not in
FvwmIconMan, it works fine. It is only when I use the mouse in FvwmIconMan
to select focus that I have a problem... any ideas?

Hmm. It would be nice if this were a user-settable option, like "RaiseOnFocus".
