I have tried them all.

GrabFocus/GrabFocusTransient/NeverFocus all behaves the same.
That is, when press the key in the background, the pager is focused,
when press the key in one of the active window, the pager is not focused.

On the second thought, I would actually prefer the behaviour NeverFocus for
FvwmPager -transient assuming it works, but then I don't know how to turn
it off using a key.

Thanks for the help. I have uploaded all my fvwm config file here:
http://linux.blueskyhost.com/~shao/fvwm/

.fvwm2rc is renamed to fvwm2rc in order for apache to pickup.

Regards,

Shao.
