In control.cfg, either in /usr/local/enlightenment/config (or wherever that got 
put on your system) or in you personal copy in ~/.enlightenment, you can set the 
__FOCUS_MODE (you seem to want __POINTER or __SLOPPY) and then, separately, you 
can switch __AUTORAISE either __ON or __OFF.  It's this last one that decides if 
the window comes to the top when focused.

That should do it =O)
