I may be missing the obvious, but in Windows 3.0 it does not seem possible
to move the input focus to a window without that same window also being
brought to the front. Is this true? If it is not then what do I have to do
to change the behaviour so that selecting a window to be brought to the top
of the pile by, for instance, clicking on the title bar does not also move
the input focus.  I can do this on other kinds of window manager on other
OSs and the apparent inability of Windows 3.0 to do this always catches me
out.
