I'm with you, Kai: I much prefer the current behavior. If anything,
please make this new behavior optional.

As an aside, I'm still seeing the "stubborn autoraise" problem I had
even after, at the suggestion of this list, upping my autoraise timeout
to 750 (from 500). It's less frequent but I can still make it happen
somewhat consistently if I try :(. Plus now I have to reset my whole
internal mouse/timing/raise clock :-/ :)

Surely there must be some solution to this? Someone responded to my
last message saying that they thought it was a X timing issue, where
events were being delivered out-of-order from the X server. Are we sure
this is the case? Can it be tested? I maintain a stubborn hope that
it's a bug in FVWM somewhere :)
