You would need to use FvwmEvent for some of that (the (de)iconify and the window receiving focus.)

FVWM: Managing focus
Hello ! I would like to setup fvwm to display this behaviour about focus : when a new window is created or deiconized, if its parent app has the focus, then, it gets the focus, otherwise, it does not get the focus, even if it is displayed below the mouse cursor and even if it is requesting it specifically. I am using actually sloppy focus and I have two distinct problems : - gaim popups the dialog message when a new message comes and I do want it to be popup, but I do not want it to get the focus because I may be typing something else. In fact, I would like it to never get the focus, except when I deiconify myself, or when I click on it, or when I move the mouse on it. - when an application popups a dialog, I would like to give it the focus to be able to use the keyboard to interact with the dialog. I think that the above description would solve those two problems. Is it possible ? -- Don't use conditional branches as a substitute for a logical expression. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger) pgpaw2v93HPm9.pgp Description: PGP signature
