I really like using the "focus follows mouse" focus policy but pop-up windows cause a \
problem.  Having new pop-ups grab focus helps the first part of the problem, but if \
I'm at a Konsole, type "nedit somefile.txt", execute some command in NEdit that opens \
a new dialog, and then close that dialog, then Konsole gets focus back instead of \
NEdit, since the mouse pointer is over Konsole.

What I'd like to see is a toggle (in addition to the current focus policies) for \
"Mouse follows focus".  Enabling this feature would warp the mouse pointer to new \
windows as they get focus.  In conjunction, it would be good to have a short history \
(maybe 5 entries or so) of where the focus has been so that, say, killing an NEdit \
pop-up that ended up over Konqueror returns the focus/pointer to NEdit.

Thanks,
-Nathan
