I like Sloppy Focus, myself.

You have to whack the mouse to get focus back under it. That's the problem -- a pop-up dialog box should not steal the focus. Focus should only change due to an action by a _user_. This is where the Apple Dock with it's useless bouncing icons becomes useful (even though Apple *still* has programs that steal focus) -- when something wants my attention, it bounces its own icon. -- Trust Apple to innovate and get it half-right.
