Last time this was brought up, I suggested a new method of
implementing "focus follows mouse" - the window under the mouse cursor
only gets the focus if the mouse velocity is zero (or, presumably,
within a user-customisable delta). I mentioned this on the devel list
of my then-favourite window manager, Window Maker, and Alfred Kojima
said it would be in the next version of Window Maker, and then nothing
happened for about six months. I just got back from holiday and
discovered WM 0.63.1 has been released, I'll go and check if it's in.
It seems not.. *sigh*.
