On the other hand, click-to-focus-with-automatic-raise tends to
prevent effective usage in a windowing environment, too. I can't
even begin to count the number of times in MS Windows I've wanted
to look at something in one window while typing into another, and
have been unable to because the other window covers up things I
need to see when it comes to the top.
