Yea, this is the way the seperate minibuffer should work.  Can you
send out what it takes to do this?  The standard mini-buffer
auto-raise feature isn't the right thing because I usually move the
mouse to an Epoch window instead of the minibuffer window.

Well... that was me!  I think a menu bar is important for the people
who don't use Epoch all the time.  We have a number of Electrical and
Mechanical engineers that use it from time to time.  They forget
things like how to reflow a paragraph or move the right margin.
