- Yes, yes, I did this. You don't seem to understand. When I start up
- ow, the mouse lies in a window, and I shouldn't have to touch the
- mouse at all (either movement or button click) to have this window
- selected for typing. I am in focus-follows-mouse mode, but the focus
- isn't initially set to where the mouse lies. That is the problem.
- And the solution is certainly not to switch to click-to-focus,
- whereupon I would *always* have to click the mouse to get into a window.
