Left click is always current window AFAIK. Middle click is new tab.
I have to reach into the cumbersome right-click menu for "Open in new
Window" to get a new window if I'm using tabbed browsing.
If there's something funky I can do with left click to force a new window
(alt-M1 or suchlike) let me know.
Basicly I _want_ single click access to all 3: new window, same window,
new tab. A menu (click, aim, click again) is a PITA. I have migrated to
tabbed browsing and shifted my habits to want "new window" sufficiently
rarely to live with the menu.
All this is independent of the FVWM issue, which is that is having new
windows (of whatever app) occasionally obscuring the focus window with
the obvious undesirable results. For myself, to be able to force all
new windows (except transients I guess) to be strictly lower than my
current focus window would do.
