What I meant was for only the menu to wait before switching, at least
for a while, after the window is focused. So it would still be
focus-follows-mouse -- but I can see how that might be confusing in
practise

So it simply waits until the mouse stands still before focusing? Yeah,
that sounds like a better idea.
