It depends on what is causing the switch. This sounds like a window is setting an UrgencyHint or something similar, and the default in fvwm is to honor the windows hint and give it focus when it requests it. Here is some tips on Focus Stealing and ways to deal with them. The actual solution depends on what the app in question is actually doing. http://fvwmforums.org/wiki/Tips/FocusStealing/ jaimos
