"Lazy mouse" is an obsolete and broken PARC concept from the Dawn of Windows.
It's where you skate the mouse, don't click, and the keyboard focus jumps to
the
window under the mouse - sometimes without raising it.
There are just so many reasons this is wrong. One of them is <Alt+Tab> might
_not_ change the keyboard focus, if the mouse cursor were in the "wrong" place.
Most GUIs since the PARC research have not used lazy mouse.
In general, I needed a compiz configuration with this magic:
- change not one of my usabilities
- do the eyecandy!!
- provide a View that lets me incrementally add the new usabilities,
one at a time
Compiz also had a terminal conflict with cairo-dock, but I ain't gonna write
that one up!

Very simply so I don't have to spend time researching what they are. I need you
to imagine I am some student of computing, who has installed Ubuntu for the
very
first time. I know the Windows keystrokes, so (for example) I select the
installer's "Windows shortcuts" settings.
I am no student, and I use custom keystrokes all the time. (Just yesterday I
wrote a script to delete the currently playing XMMS song.) Like you, I need the
keystrokes to work together in coherent patterns. But I am not a compulsive
configurer, either...
