Thanks for your answer Jaimos.

It seems that the issue was that FPGrabFocus, implicitly set when using
ClickToFocus, was overridden by this line, to which I didn't pay enough
attention, in the default config file:

Style * TileCascadePlacement, GrabFocusOff, !UsePPosition

Removing GrabFocusOff from it did the trick.

Have a nice day,

Didier

The default focus policy is SloppyFocus which gives focus to the
window under the mouse (with some special rules about the root
window), so if a window is created and not under the mouse even with
GrabFocus it will loose focus based on where the mouse is located (or
if the mouse gets moved).

It might be you want to change the focus policy to ClickToFocus, this
is most like windows, where you have to click a window for it to gain
focus and thus focus is not tied to mouse location.

Style * ClickToFocus
