Chris points out:
For all the vituperation so far, it's worth remembering that sam's
click-to-focus policy was created on a system where click-to-focus
was the overall focus policy as well (to use X terminology). It may
well make sense to switch to mouse-based focusing inside sam if your
X window manager also uses mouse-based focusing.
Did anyone _forget_ that? There's another alternative, of course. You
can throw out your hideous real-estate-driven window manager and use one
that implements click-to-focus, the One True Focus Policy. I know _I_
did. (Hell, I wonder why my X terminal behaves so much like a Blit
running mux... must be _some_ reason...)
OK,
John.
