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.
