The point is: I can focus other windows without problems (I'm using the
"focus follows mouse cursor" feature), but I can't interact with those
other non-modal windows and they also aren't brought to the front.
Just a note:
The "focus follows mouse" is/was a dangerous feature of the XWindows
manager. In the 80s some people found it funny to move the mouse of
somebody else, who was entering text. As soon as the mouse left the
current window, further keystrokes ended up in nirvana, or in another
window.
The (later?) introduction of modal forms is implemented in both an
window manager (system modal) *and* application (application modal),
with possibly strange effects when used together with "focus follows
mouse". When the WM doesn't honor or even doesn't know about application
modal windows, and redirects input to other than the application
top-level modal window, the results can become inpredictable.
