Just a note to others who might have been frustrated by this: I have long been mystified and frustrated that the settings that I put in my icewm configuration for input focus - specifically that focused windows should not be raised - never seemed to be recognized by icewm. Whenever I clicked *inside* a window, it would always raise to the top in spite of the configuration <shrug>. Well..... I just today noticed what the deal is. Just screwing around in my icewm root menu, I went to a place I hadn't been before, and I found: Settings > Focus > Custom Voila. If you set this to "Custom", you get (apparently) what your configuration file says. Whereas if you leave this menu setting on "Click to focus", your specific settings get ignored and overridden :-( FWIW, if any developers are listening - this BROKEN BEHAVIOR. If I put something in my config file, I expect it to be heeded by the software, and I shouldn't have to do something else in the root menu to activate it.
