Here's an odd twist. focus-follows-mouse DOES work, sort-of, but
only after I resize a frame by dragging on its corner. I have to
actually change the size of the frame for this to work. If I click
and drag on the corner but retun it to its original position before
unclicking, that does not make focus-follows-mouse work. It doesn't
matter what frame I resize. If I open three frames, resizing any one
of them does the trick. But then if I change focus, either by
clicking on a frame or by calling raise-frame, or if I close a frame
or open a new one, focus-follows-mouse stops working until after I
resize a frame again. Also, calling set-frame-height or
set-frame-size does change the size of the frame, but it does not
make focus-follows-mouse start working.
I have tried every eXodus configuration option in the Rootless
Options, XServer Options and X Extensions catagories, and none of
them seems to have any effect on the way this works (except for one
which prevents focus-follows-mouse from ever working.)
One of my co-workers, who has a PC instead of a MAC, can't get
focus-follows-mouse to ever work, under any circumstances. Another,
who has a Sun workstation, never has any problems with focus-follows
mouse. We are all running the same Emacs on the same host.

It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I set
focus-follows-mouse to either t or nil.
---------------------
Just had a little chat with our local X guru. He just laughed and
told me not to waste my time trying to get focus-follows-mouse to
work correctly under eXodus, 'cause it ain't gonna happen.
Thanks for the help, everyone.
