In the man page for fvwm2(1):
final paragraph of DESCRIPTION, just before OPTIONS: <pre><quote>
Other noteworthy differences between Fvwm and other X11
window managers are the introduction of the SloppyFocus
and per-window focus methods. SloppyFocus is focus-fol-
lows-mouse, but focus is not removed from windows when the
mouse leaves a window and enters the root window. When
SloppyFocus is used as the default focus style, it is nice
to make windows in which you do not typically type into
(xmag, xman, xgraph, xclock, xbiff, etc.). NeverFocus, so
that your terminal window doesn't lose focus unnecessar-
ily.
</quote></pre>
Should include NeverFocus with SloppyFocus in initial summary sentence.
Uses `windows in which you ... not type into' repeating `in' usage.
Last two `sentences' aren't sentences. Suggestion: <suggest>
Fvwm introduces some focus idioms improving greatly on other X11
window managers. Focus policy can be specified for individual
windows. Windows using SloppyFocus acquire focus when the pointer
moves into them and retain focus until some other window acquires it.
The NeverFocus policy is provided for use with windows into which
one never types (e.g. [xo]clock, xbiff, xeyes, tuxeyes) - for example, if
a SloppyFocus terminal window has focus, moving the cursor over a
NeverFocus decoration window won't deprive the terminal of focus.
</suggest>
SloppyFocus rocks ;^)
Once experienced, all other focus policies <em>hurt</em>.
I've yet to try NeverFocus (new to me) but it sounds the perfect
accompaniment.
Thanks for a WM that's a pleasure to use, rather than sucking like all the
rest.
More reports when I've logged out and back in ...
Eddy.
