It works fine for me using the Debian Emacs 21 package (started with -q --no-site-file), together with Window Maker with the settings: "click to focus", "do not let applications receive the click used to focus windows". The first mouse click of any kind gives the window focus, the second click performs its normal Emacs action, as I would expect. Perhaps your problem is window-manager-specific?
