The only general focus-related setting that I could find in my .fvwm2rc is: Style * MouseFocusClickRaises There are a couple others related to specific programs (e.g., TeamViewer). > If it is NOT ClickToFocus, are you crossing the "clutter" > transitioning the mouse between windows?

I understand this was Dominik's suggestion too, but I'm reasonably sure that is not the case. On this particular laptop with only a 1366x768 screen, I have most windows (esp. pdf viewers) maximised in "cluttered" mode. Many thanks to all of you for your suggestions, -mandar.
