The IconSIze style is what you want. You need at least 2.5.3 for
it.

Look up the IconBox style in the man page.

This is because you have bound an action to the title bar that has
to distinguish between a single click and a double click. Fvwm
can't launch the single click action immediately because it has to
wait if the action becomes a double click. You have
AddToFunc Move-or-Raise "C" Raise
+ "M" Move
+ "D" Lower
Mouse 1 T A Move-or-Raise
This waits for a moment before raising the window after a click
(150 ms by default, but set to 750 ms with the ClickTime command
in your config). Try this instead:
AddToFunc Move-or-Raise "C" Raise
+ "M" Move
Mouse 1 T A Move-or-Raise
Mouse 2 T A Lower
works immediately.
By the way, I believe this line does not what you wanted it to do:
Mouse 2 TS A Move-or-Raise
I guess you wanted
Mouse 2 FS A Move-or-Raise
^^^
instead.
