nope, doesn't do it for me -- AutoRaise seems to override ClickToFocus and
puts me into follow focus.

to all on this thread:

instead of arguing which focus method is superior you should accept other
persons likes and dislikes -- and just come back to the original question:
how is the following behavior achieved:

- a window gets focus with a click-action in it (perhaps click into the client
area) -- but it doesn't raise
- a window raises with another click-action (perhaps click onto some border
elements) -- it may receive focus too but it it needn't be, you then have an
additional possibility for personal configuration

if someone knows an answer to _this_, please step forward -- even if it
requires some code hacking.

There is ONE reason to use Windows95 -- it has multitasking:
you can boot the system and crash it simultaneously!
