when hidden, the dock's window becomes invisible and transparent to mouse events.
All WMs handle this correctly, I'm surprised to hear that Fvwm fails here.
if you have a recent version of Fvwm, you should maybe report this problem to them.

Title:
  Cairo-dock creates invisible window when hidden that causes focus
  problems

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Using Fvwm 2.5.30 and cairo-dock 2.3.0~3 on Debian stable with xcompmgr and the cairo backend (-c), I observe the following:
  1. Set the dock to be on the top of the screen, to always keep hidden, and to reappear if the cursor moves into a zone of 99x2; also to stretch to fill the whole screen.
  2. When the dock is hidden,  there still is a an invisible window with class Cairo-dock and geometry 1023x101+59+0 (my screen width is 1024 pixels)
  3. This window is willing to take the focus, and thus may steal the focus from other windows if it overlaps them.

  I frankly don't see the purpose of this window, and I'm surprised
  other WMs don't have a problem with it. I therefore think this is a
  bug, and would appreciate your input on this issues.
