[openbox] sloppy focus "stealing"

This may be a RTFA but I have and ... :-(


I've got a bit of RSI going and find that sloppy focus (i.e., focus follow mouse) helps a bit because it cuts down on the number of clicks I need to do. However, there is one use case where it gets me into trouble:

1) An app brings up a dialog

2) The mouse gets nudged (or is moved too slowly), and before I can access the dialog, another app (or the same app if it's a non-modal dialog) gets the focus, obscuring the dialog box.


In both cases, having a "snap to new window" or even "snap to default widget on new window" would prevent this. Is this possible with OB?
