FVWM: fullscreen focus problem

[Zoilo Gomez]

I have an application that uses a full-screen Flashplayer app in the 
background for selection of movies, and a small VLC-window in the 
foreground (always on top). The user select a movie and it starts to 
play in the VLC window (It looks like plug-in but is not).

All control is handled by the Flashplayer app; so I have tested with 
several configurations, in particular "SloppyFocus" for the Flashplayer, 
and "NeverFocus" for the VLC player.

This works fine; Flashplayer keeps the focus, even when my VLC-player 
goes full-screen and Flashplayer is invisible in the background (which 
is what I want).

But when VLC goes back to normal screen, Flashplayer looses the focus 
suddenly (as a matter of fact, it seems like no window has the focus, 
but I am not sure how to verify that). When I move the mouse into the 
VLC-window, then back to the Flashplayer-window, Flashplayer regains the 
focus and everything works again (as expected - SloppyFocus).


Why does Flashplayer loose the focus when VLC goes from full-screen to 
normal-screen? How can I prevent this from happening?


Thx,

Z.
