Even though the documentation of focus-follows-mouse makes it abundantly clear that this is not the intent of the variable, I think it would be better if emacs switched the emacs window focus based on mouse movement when this variable is set to non-nil. -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux) http://pmw.org.il http://iris.org.il http://dhimmi.com http://jihadwatch.org http://truepeace.org http://openvotingconsortium.org http://ffii.org Only the mediocre are always at their best.
