 DV> The behaviour you see is exactly what you are asking for.  With

 DV>   Style "*" ClickToFocusRaises, ClickToFocusPassesClickOff
 DV>                                                        ^^^

 DV> you're telling fvwm not to pass any clicks on lowered windows to
 DV> the application, and this is what you get.  I didn't check 2.4.16,
 DV> but if it does not work as described, there is a bug in 2.4.x, not
 DV> in 2.5.x.

No, if it is so, it is a bug either in name of parameter or in 2.5.x.
It is not a click to focus.  These windows have SloppyFocus style, not
ClickToFocus.  And well, for ClickToFocus windows (now I have no such) I
would not want passing of click.

In 2.4.x behavior is as described:

"ClickToFocusPassesClickOff and ClickToFocusPassesClick controls if a
mouse click to focus a window using the ClickToFocus model is sent to
the application or not"

means that it does not affect non-ClickToFocus windows.

Well, in 2.5.x manpage I found

"ClickToFocusPassesClickOff and ClickToFocusPassesClick controls if a
mouse click to focus a window using the ClickToFocus model is sent to
the application or not. Similarly,
ClickToFocusRaisesOff/MouseFocusClickRaisesOff and
ClickToFocusRaises/MouseFocusClickRaises control if the window is
raised.

Note: in fvwm versions prior to 2.5.3, the "Click..." options applied
only to windows with ClickToFocus while the "Mouse..." options applied
to windows with a different focus policy. This is no longer the case. "

But as I can see, the second paragraph contradicts the first one.  And
then what's the sense of such a change in logic?  From my point of view
this is definitely a mistake.  Well, I know workaround (for each window
window with ClickToFocus style also explicitly set
ClickToFocusPassesClickOff), but what if in 2.6.x there will be
analogous strange logic in this place?

 DV> Try

 DV>   Style * ClickToFocusRaises, ClickToFocusPassesClick

 DV> instead.  (Note that double quotes around style names are only
 DV> necessary if the style contains whitespace or quoting characters).

Sorry, I have not tested this on 2.5.x yet.  If test will fail, I'll be
back :-)
