This is a nice feature for many users, as long as it is an _option_.  For most 
people, it can reduce mouse use, which is a Good Thing.  However, I for one 
could not use KDE with this feature.

I've got RSI, and clicking the mouse hurts; so I wrote a KDE utility that 
clicks the mouse whenever it pauses.  I can't use KDE without my utility, but 
having the mouse jump around with new windows really throws it off.  This 
happened to lots of people under Windows with an earlier version of the 
program.

(It goes like this: window opens; mouse jumps to default button; I begin 
reaching for mouse; I don't reach it in time; MouseTool clicks on default 
button before I have time to do anything at all in the new window.)
