Openbox 3.4.10

I'd like to cycle windows with a mouse wheel up/down. I have the
following in my ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml:

   <context name="Desktop">
     <mousebind button="Up" action="Click">
       <action name="PreviousWindow">
         <dialog>no</dialog>
         <bar>yes</bar>
         <raise>yes</raise>
         <linear>no</linear>
       </action>
     </mousebind>
     <mousebind button="Down" action="Click">
       <action name="NextWindow">
         <dialog>no</dialog>
         <bar>yes</bar>
         <raise>yes</raise>
         <linear>no</linear>
       </action>
     </mousebind>
   </context>

This config works but I still have to activate the window either with
a left-mouse-click or by pressing ENTER on the keyboard.

Before 3.4.10 was released, I filed a bug report
<http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4436> and Dana mentioned
there would be a new option ("stopInteractive") to deal with that
behaviour. I couldn't find any documentation to confirm it.

Can anyone help, please?
Thanks.
