I had a feeling you wanted something too ;)

When i initially wrote that code the devs said it seems sort of strange, 
why would you want to focus a window half a second before you raise it? Is 
your intention to move the mouse away from the window before it gets 
raised, and if so to where? Do you have a special spot on your screen 
where you never have any windows?
