	There's also SloppyFocus.  It's like MouseFocus, except that when the 
pointer leaves the window in focus and goes into the root window, the window 
with focus doesn't lose it.  Only if the pointer enters a non-root window will 
the focus change.  This is my default focus style, and I rather like it.
