This is likely an fvwm1 problem. I use it too (without 2 monitors) and after some time something gets broken in its focus handling, and the windows stop getting focus. Restarting fvwm clears up the problem. >>That's mainly irritating; the problem I describe above is annoying. > >Did you get anywhere in debugging it?
