Yes, we are using FVWM as WM.
I got a suggestion to write a function for this WM to stop the
Terminal to appear
when our Lock Screen is active, but here no one is familiar enough with this WM
to write such a function.
And I guess a different route is just not possible.
And I would also guess that even if I put the "stay on top" flag,
pressing the ALT+TAB will
definitely switch the focus. Am I correct?
Thank you.
