You want to look at Window.cc. In order to do what you want you
need to intercept the button click so it doesn't reach the app,
which means you'll want to do an XGrabButton a la line 282's
if (! screen->isSloppyFocus())
XGrabButton(display, Button1, 0, frame.plate, True,
ButtonPressMask, GrabModeSync, GrabModeSync,
None, None);
(Though on Button3, of course). Then you'll need to add code to
BlackboxWindow::buttonPressEvent() (for similar code with a slightly
different intent look around line 2424), and add code that will call
XAllowEvents if the window is already focused, but otherwise focus it.
