I believe the intention was to point out that when the mouse moves then 
the focus follows it, when the focus moves (window resized/moved/closed by 
non-mouse event, focus grabbed by other program) the mouse doesn't follow 
it. In that sense the focus always follows the mouse but the mouse doesn't 
follow focus.
