I also like the way that the Mac does this. The DEC VAXstations running
the VMS window manager called UIS (I think) does the same thing. You
have to click the mouse on a window to change the input focus. The good
thing about this is that you can then move the mouse out of the way. I hate
having a mouse get between me and the text I am typing.
