I do see that with a focus follows click policy, focus-follows-mouse set
to t and mouse-autoselect-window set to non-nil, then my problem
returns, but that would be my fault for making Emacs flout the window
manager policy.  If I use a focus follows mouse policy, I don't see any
problem with focus-follows-mouse set to t and mouse-autoselect-window
set to non-nil.  I recall there was an issue with auto-raising, but I
guess you dealt with that, because I don't see it in the preceding
scenario (using a non-auto-raising policy in the window manager).
