Hi Thomas,

I think things you descibe are a bit different from what I meant: I am
not talking about click *and hold* the mouse button.

If the delay was due to some processor time it's ok but it isn't: If you
click (just a short click) and don't move the mouse then you'll have the
delay. If you instead click (just like the first time) and move the
mouse *afterwards* the background window is brought to the front
emediately and without delay. I don't think that this is a really
essetial thing but it makes fvwm look slow in some cases which wouldn't
be necessary, it seems.

btw: I forgot to say that sloppy focus isn't of course what I am talking
about. The whole thing does of course only appear with ClickToFocus
policy.

Thanks
 Felix
