window focus controls are the wm's job - well to an extent. any x client can
just set the focus too so it's a free-for-all that any client can mess with.

yes. pointer focus will focus windows under others. as per video. that is
intended. i use it all the time. i like it. mostly windows under others are
only minimally obscured. if i dont want it behind it alt+click to raise to the
front.

if you want it to RAISE there is another feature called autoraise. enable that.
then it'll focus and raise... use them together if that is what you prefer.
autoraise also can work with click to focus. :) "Raise windows on mouse over""
is the checkbox under window focus settings.
