focus problems

[Leonard Smith <leonards iol21 com>]

I have a general question about GNOME's focus mangament. Whenever I move
the mouse from a window it immediately loses focus. Any window over
which the mouse is located receives the focus even if the window is not
brought to the front. This is frustrating because anytime my mouse is
not directly over an application I cannot enter any text into it. Is
there a way to change this behavior?

Also, I cannot get nautilus to work nor can I modify any settings for
Sawfish. Where can I get help for these problems?
