Dominik,

   Ah, but the problem still arises under 'MouseFocus'.

   My current guess at what's happening is that the cursor hotspot
   has indeed left the application window, but because of the way
   in which 'unclutter' caused this to happen, fvwm has not noticed
   that the focus has changed, since there has been no explicit movement
   of the mouse.

   How does that sound? I'm only guessing.

Cheers, Joseph
