Right -- I thought you said this top window was alwas over the bottom window
which is to have the focus? If that's not the case, then put it wherever
you like, but you'll come back to your original "problem" of needing to
focus the bottom window before allowing the pointer to move into the top
window which has NeverFocus set. I see now why you had "Focus NoWarp".
Style bottom_window InitialMapCommand Focus NoWarp, StartsOnPage x y, \
SkipMapping
... should help you here with that.
But I am still not sure what effect it is you're after from that point on.
Is it the case that this top window which has NeverFocus set on it is always
responsible for providing focus to the bottom window? If it is, and by the
simple fact of the pointer being in that window should ensure that, then you
can always do something like this:
DestroyModuleConfig FE-PW:*
*FE-PW: enter_window SomeFunc
AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmEvent FE-PW
DestroyFunc SomeFunc
AddToFunc SomeFunc
+ I PointerWindow (top_level_window_class_name) \
Next (my_bottom_win_name, AcceptsFocus, !Focused, CirculateHit) Focus NoWarp
