And the user who wants such behavior should run DMouse/QMouse instead
of asking that Intuition be changed.  There are times when having the
last active window get reactivated is what you want to have happen,
and there are times when you want the window under the pointer active.
Changing Intuition would make window-stacking next to impossible and
ruin user continuity with previous system releases.
