I added a new feature to Fvwm2.0.46/extras/FvwmTaskBar/FvwmTaskBar.c,
whereby keeping the cursor on a button in taskbar raises the window,
if tip is open (should be independent ideally).

BTW, I don't know X so well, but ideally I am looking at taskbar
taking keyboard input. Let me know if you have any suggestions,
eg. left / Right arrow in TaskBar can move between windows.

- Mohsin.

In ~/.fvwm2rc turn on the option by:
*FvwmTaskBarAutoFocus
*FvwmTaskBarShowTips

$ cd Fvwm2.0.46/extras/FvwmTaskBar
$ diff FvwmTaskBar.c-orig FvwmTaskBar.c
27a128
> AutoFocus = False, // mosh

< if (Tip.open) RedrawTipWindow();
