Why does Flashplayer loose the focus when VLC goes from full-screen

It looks as though some applications (vlc, xine, etc) still pass the click
to the window which allows the client to accept focus. Thus, although you
have "NeverFocus" set, it's not doing it's job properly.
I do not understand what you mean - in any case there is no mouse click
or so.
Well, I say "properly" -- it looks like the events reaching the window with
NeverFocus are odd for some clients.
Can you hook up "xev" to your "NeverFocus" window, make it go fullscreen
then out again, and send me the log?
My configuration:
Style * SloppyFocus
Style vlc StartsOnPage 0 0, !Title, !Handles, WindowListSkip,
NeverFocus, !Borders, StaysOnTop, !FPGrabFocus
Style flashplayer StartsOnPage 0 0, !Title, !Handles, WindowListSkip,
!Borders, StaysOnBottom

While VLC is in normal-window mode, I attached xev to this VLC
normal-mode window, then make it go full-screen:

From debugging, I can see that indeed the focus is being assigned to
the VLC normal-mode window; seems like it grabs the focus somehow:
[fvwm][Echo]: destroy window 0x100001d
[fvwm][Echo]: add window 0x1000004
[fvwm][Echo]: window_name 0x1000004
[fvwm][Echo]: raise window 0x1000004
[fvwm][Echo]: res_class 0x1000004
[fvwm][Echo]: res_name 0x1000004
[fvwm][Echo]: enter window 0x60005f
[fvwm][Echo]: focus change 0x1000004
where:
0x100001d: VLC full-screen window
0x1000004: VLC normal-screen window
0x60005f: flashplayer window (background)
