FVWM: focus problem with Next/Prev

until recently i was running fvwm2 version 2.0.45. a system upgrade
to redhat 7.0 brought me version 2.2.4, which seems (for my purposes)
to be a transparent upgrade, except for one thing.

i use the Circulate functionality a lot. i include the following lines
in .fvwm2rc to give myself a ring of windows, accessible with function
keys:

    Key F1 A N Next [!iconic CurrentDesk] Focus
    Key F2 A N Prev [!iconic CurrentDesk] Focus

this worked fine in the older version, but after the upgrade, i
find that "circulating" to a window gives it focus, but no longer
raises it -- in fact, it will happily grant focus to a window that is
left completely obscured.

reading the man page, it sounds like the "Focus" argument _should_ be
raising the window for me ("Raises the window if needed to make it
visible."), so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. since this all
worked in a previous version, i guess it must be due to some other,
conflicting, behavior that changed and which is also enabled in my
.fvwm2rc file.

any ideas on where or how to look?
