|   Just a thought: focus a window with the mouse, alt-tab to another
|   window. Move the mouse around a bit keeping it over the first window. Does

| No, it does not.  I don't use alt-tab, it doesn't really fit with the

Add a entry for any click on a border or title to raise the window.
That is what I do.

I also have Alt-click in the window to do similar.
