Summary: Strange focus behavior since icewm-1.2.28

Initial Comment:
Operating System: SUSE LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10

We are using icewm-1.2.23 and we have some reasons to update at least to icewm-1.2.36. For this case on SLES10 we need to compile the desired version ourselves.
But with icewm-1.2.28 (and also all of the following versions) we have a problem with popup windows in our Oracle Forms-Application:
If a popup window appears and we click on the main window, the popup window disappears BEHIND the main window. The popup window keeps the focus, so it is not possible to activate the main window, because it waits on the closing of the popup window. Having the taskbar deactivated, it is not possible to get the popup window to the top again. The only way is to kill the application!
I also have tried some settings which have changed their default values from version 1.2.27 to 1.2.28, but without success.

Message:
can you send the 'xprop' and 'xwininfo -all' output of both the main window
and the popup?
