Not sure about KDE, but Gnome has this feature. Its actually set by
default to not raise the window if it gets focus, but you have to turn
on "give window focus when mouse moves over it" for it to work the way
you expect it too. Its a pretty popular feature so I'm guessing KDE and
others will have it too.

I can't believe you're still using FVWM. There isn't anything wrong
with that, but I figured almost everyone had migrated. I migrated once
virtual desktop support was good in the desktop WMs. Do you still have
to restart the window manager in order to update your config file
settings with FVWM?

Bottom posted for your pleasure.
