I think, as Dominik suggested, that the idea of the two modes was
suggested by mwm, although it wasn't implemented quite the way mwm does
it; and, in any case, it's not consistent anymore, since you can have a
mix of mousey and clicky windows. I think using the last-focus order
universally would make a good deal more sense.
Maybe we should solicit some votes...? I vote for the universal
last-focus order. Mike, I take it your vote would make 2 for that
approach. I suspect, from his previous comment, that Dominik would make
a third, but I'll let him speak for himself.
Cheers,
Bob
