This works for me. Although I myself would rewrite this to be more clean:
DestroyFunc SelectWindow
AddToFunc SelectWindow
+ I Focus
+ I Raise
+ I WarpToFocus 50 50 # optional
Key Tab A M Prev SelectWindow
Key Tab A MS Next SelectWindow
Do you mean Alt-Tab does nothing for you or does a wrong thing?

This should not be this way. Correctly defined Key bindings should work.

Unless you use other style lines later that match your xterm, it should
work as you expect, and it indeed works for me as expected.
All these problems may indicate that something went wrong, like:
* you run an incorrect fvwm2 executable
* your .fvwm2rc file is not read for some reason
If you think that these don't happen, please post here your full .fvwm2rc
file (you may skip menus or other private information if needed).

2.3.x is mostly 2.2.x compatible. You may run fvwm24_convert, it does some
job to make your fvwm2rc file up to date.
But usually you only need (optionally) to move ~/.fvwm2rc to ~/.fvwm/
directory, run a correct fvwm2 and see which warning you get on the
standard error. Then use the man page to fix these warnings one by one.
We here will help you to get a working setup, ask if there are any
migration problems.

Mikhael.
