Can someone tell me how to STOP epoch from popping itself to the top of the
window stack each time I move the darn mouse past its window?  This is
antisocial and tres obnoxious!

If I want it on the top of the window stack, I'll raise it myself.  I've
never seen an X program get so excited over brief focus events!

My window manager is in the mode where if the mouse is in the window, that
window has the focus.  That doesn't give epoch the right to raise itself.

I have this problem in 4.0, but it's a 3.2 problem too.

Thanks,

    Oh, no!  You walked into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue.
