I don't know why this happens out of the box. I think it may be because(?) X does not allow to focus windows that are not mapped, i.e. it can not focus anything if there is not at least an icon window somewhere. However, I have attached a transparent 1x1 pixmap to this mail that should help to fix the problem: Style ** Icon transparent.xpm Style * IconOverride, Icon transparent.xpm, NoIconTitle (you may have to restart fvwm to make this work).
