No. Not at all. You did well, with the reserve that Matthias intentionally
left out focus configurability because he still isn't decided what will
finally be the complete mechanism.

I added now a rudimentary focus discrimination configurability. But I put
it under "Windows" group and not under "WM" as you did ("WM" is a general
kde group that goes into the kdeglobals config file and is meant
especially for colors and such as applied to the wm, so that any
kdecompliant wm can use them).

Problem is that the autogenerated code still is from your previous
compilation :-) You should do a clean rebuild, and then there isn't any
more appearent magic :-)

This is exactly why Matthias left this in suspension. Traditional focus on
mouse used to pass the focus to the widget under the mouse. Logically
correct focus follows mouse should only change the focus "on request"
i.e., when the mouse moves. And this is the difference between ffm and
fum.

I applied a part of your patch (manually). Thanks a lot for your work.
