Mouse Focus

The MouseFocus preference provides a primitive emulation of the move-to-focus ability of many windowing systems.  When MouseFocus is on, Stuart tracks the mouse when it enters an emulation window.  If the mouse stays in one spot for more than about a fraction of a second, Stuart brings the window forward and makes it the main window without requiring the user to click on it.

Technically, MouseFocus should be relabeled MouseRaise since it not only focuses on the window but it raises it to the front.  In a future version of Stuart there may be two defaults for this particular ability, one to determine focus, and another to determine whether focus raises the window.
