Allow me to also add my voice for the separate mini-buffer.  Those who
don't like it in our shop tend to be those who use their X-server as a
very large terminal emulator.  I put my mini-buffer at the top of the
screen (heads up!), and run a minimum of fours screens below it. 

As an aside, I use the point and click to make my window active.
There are those who never reach for their coffee and inadvertantly
change focus, but I prefer to be explicit in what I want.
