The disadvantage that makes this setup useless is that a user normally
wants that all special modules, like FvwmButtons, FvwmTaskBar, FvwmPager
are not focusable. I.e. these modules should normally be NeverFocus,
not ClickToFocus.

A much better solution for me would be to hide a window on EdgeCommand
and unhide it on any focus:

  EdgeThickness 1
  EdgeCommand
  EdgeCommand Right Next (FvwmButtons-MyPanel, CirculateHit) UnhideWindow
  EdgeCommand Bottom Next (FvwmTaskBar, CirculateHit) UnhideWindow

  DestroyFunc HideWindow
  AddToFunc   HideWindow
  + I WindowShade true   # or: Lower

  DestroyFunc UnhideWindow
  AddToFunc   UnhideWindow
  + I WindowShade false  # or: Raise

  Style FvwmButtons NeverFocus, NoTitle, TitleAtRight
  Style FvwmTaskBar NeverFocus, NoTitle, TitleAtBottom

  DestroyFunc HideAll
  AddToFunc   HideAll
  + I Next (FvwmButtons-MyPanel, CirculateHit) HideWindow
  + I Next (FvwmTaskBar, CirculateHit) HideWindow

  Module FvwmAuto 100 HideAll

The previous FvwmEvent solution is good too regarding NeverFocus.

Mikhael.
