As you can imagine, it?s very annoying when you?re suddenly switched to a different program residing on a different page, especially while you?re typing somewhere else. Years ago I added this to my config to solve this problem: DestroyFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc Style * !FPFocusByProgram Sorry to follow-up to myself. Looks like I'm also using: DestroyFunc UrgencyFunc Rob

Years ago I added this to my config to solve this problem: DestroyFunc EWMHActivateWindowFunc Style * !FPFocusByProgram More recently the 2nd line caused problems with Java keyboard focus so I commented it out. The DestroyFunc alone seems to be working fine. Rob

This sounds like a window is setting an UrgencyHint or something similar, and the default in fvwm is to honor the windows hint and give it focus when it requests it. Here is some tips on Focus Stealing and ways to deal with them. The actual solution depends on what the app in question is actually doing. http://fvwmforums.org/wiki/Tips/FocusStealing/ jaimos
FVWM: how to prevent involuntary page switching?
Hi, how can I prevent fvwm from automatically switching to the desktop page where an application like gajim receives a message and activates a window (or whatever it does to force this switch)? As you can imagine, it´s very annoying when you´re suddenly switched to a different program residing on a different page, especially while you´re typing somewhere else.
