There is no definite for `xwem-client-strict-activation' value.
Non-nil `xwem-client-strict-activation' can save your nerves a
little, because you will have much less X errors, but it also will
strike xwem speed a little, because non-nil
`xwem-client-strict-activation' implies full interaction with X server
when activating clients.

Try them both, if you will not see the difference, set it to non-nil,
it will save your nerves :)
