Presumably you mean a transient window?  How do you know that it isn't
supposed to receive the focus?

No transient windows. Example situation: I have two Mozilla windows open,
one with the mail interface, and one ordinary browser window. I want to
type text into a form on a web-page, so I click into the text-input field.
The browser window is now highlighted as having focus, and even the cursor
inside the text entry field blinks. But whenever I type something, it
goes to the mail interface window that is not supposed to be active - I
can e.g. scroll the message in the mail display by pressing up/down even
though the browser window is supposed to have focus. This situation is
"sticky" - I can still click into e.g. xterm windows and type there, but
whenever I click into the browser window again, the focus is wrongly
assigned to the mail window. Only restarting fvwm resolves the problem.

While this annoyingly happens several times a day, I've not found a
reliable way to reproduce the situation quickly, which certainly does
not make debugging easier.

Which focus policy are you using?

Style "*" ClickToFocus

(no exceptions) and (if that matters)...:

Style "*" NoIcon
Style "*" MWMFunctions
Style "*" HintOverride
Style "*" MWMDecor
Style "*" DecorateTransient

Thanks for any hints in advance,
