Well, fvwm can tell the difference. Marking is not clicking, it's
moving. Consider the titlebar. By default, clicking on it raises
the window, but moving (press and hold button, move mouse) moves the
window. And it's not necessary for the window to raise while it's moved.
So, what I want to do in 'fvwm-speak' is this:
Mouse 1 W A Current [ !Raised ] SomeFuction
and then have SomeFunction like this:
AddToFunc SomeFunction
+ C Raise
+ M Magic
Where the function Magic tells fvwm to let go and give control to the
client. Now that I think about it, FakeClick might be the solution. I'll
have to see. If I just pass a buttonpress to the client and not the
release?

Yes, but that's trivial and also what I've been doing. With a Sun
keyboard, it's even pretty good as there's a 'Front' button which can
be used to raise the window. However, with my Linux box at home I have
rather few keys as it's a Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite.
