There is little we can do about that. It's not the click that
gets passed to the window - insofar fvwm works correctly. The
problem is that rxvt and aterm request pointer motion events with
any button held down. Fvwm releases the grab of the pointer after
the click is processed and further mouse events are processed by
the application. It does not happen with xterm because xterm
requires to receive the click.
