Well, since I'm sawfish packager for Mandrake, I hope it is not a bug in
the package :((

I've done some tests using different Window Managers, all in focus on
click mode :
-KDE 2.2beta1 : "follow mode" in To, Cc, Subject et Body fields
-Twm : same problem
-Icewm : same problem
-Window Maker : same problem

My guess is that it is a Evolution (or a Bonobo) bug, not an WM bug..
