Raising a window to the top of the window stacking (such that it not 
behind any other window) is not the same as "focused".  Having focus 
means that the keyboard input goes to that window.  a) Moving the focus 
to a window that does not contain the mouse pointer contradicts the 
expected behavior of the focus-follows-pointer setting.  b) This 
behavior is quite annoying when typing something in an xterm that causes 
changes to the window stacking because suddenly the keyboard input is no 
longer going to the xterm that I am typing in.

OK.  I will do that tomorrow.
