That sounds like it's exactly what i want, i just tried openbox3 and was
annoyed that it didn't always place the windows under the mouse when
using sloppy focus :)

Now the only thing i can think of right now that i'd like to see in ob3
is a delay for autoraising focused windows but _not_ delay the focus
change. I want focus to switch immediately to new windows, but still
have a delay on autoraising so i don't get lots of windows popping up
when i move the cursor to another window.
