There is no magic about the Pager.
And you even suggest yourself how to find out how it works:
Search you rc file for the pager,
and find something like

    Style "FvwmPager" Sticky

`Sticky' is the attribute you ask for.

    SG> Q.2) When ever I click mouse on any of the windows

you mean withing the pager!?!

that only makes it appear and `raise'.

Well, there are different models of how the focus follows the mouse.

>From the `rc' file:

    #Style "*" ClickToFocus

That one was used before (obviously without `#').

    Style "*" SloppyFocus

But I also prefer this one.

I found that only by using the fvwm(95) `Configure' module

    (they call it `trails mouse' there;
    the alternatives are `follows mouse' and `click' (i.e. `click to type')),

which was removed temporarily from the distribution,
and looking at the `rc' `includable' file generated by it.

    SG> Rightnow I have click once to make that xterm active.
