Probably not (as far as I can tell from the manpage).

At the moment, the only thing that I want is that transients should never get focus. Is that something I can control from fvwm, or does that need to be fixed in the respective applications?

If that's not possible, I would like a transient to release focus when it goes away. I thought FPReleaseFocus, FPReleaseFocusTransient and FPOverrideReleaseFocus controlled this behaviour, but I don't understand exactly how. I have

Style * MouseFocusClickRaises, GrabFocusTransientOff, !FPGrabFocusTransient, FPReleaseFocusTransient, FPOverrideReleaseFocus

but that's not giving me what I want.
