I thought I already answered this once, but maybe I'm hallucinating....

If you recompile with the option CLICKY_MODE_1 defined, then the window should
only be raised if you click on the border to focus. Clicking in the interior
of the window causes it to be focused but not to raise.

Its best to click on the border for this, or else use some obscure
modifier combination, ie shift-alt-ctrl-button1 = raise window.
