The command is executed too early. Fvwm has not yet captured the
applications windows, so it does not have a window to focus. Try
to focus the window *before* the restart:

  addtofunc my_restart
  + i prev (XTerm) Focus
  + i restart

Unless the focus policy tells something else, the window will
retain the focus over the restart. This may not work well with
SloopyFocus or MouseFocus.
