I rememeber answering this question a lot of times.
Entering a query "Next;Focus;Raise;Mikhael" in the mail archives gives:

  http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/archive/0012/msg00193.html
  http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/archive/0101/msg00242.html

You may improvise on the query to give more results.

Regards,
Mikhael.
