here's a little hack^H^H^H^Hscript I wrote to do just what you are looking
for. You'll need fvwm version 2.5.x I think (for the perl libs), I use
cvs 2.5.5. I just added desk switching support.

NOTE:: Mikhael may be referring to a different solution, to which I am not
aware of...

anyway...

Copy FvwmTrackFocus.pl to your $FVWM_MODULEDIR and then add:

AddToFunc StartFunction
        + I Module FvwmTrackFocus.pl

to your .fvwm2rc

Restart and you're good to go.
