   Setting auto-raise-screen to nil should do this. If your WM is
   configured for click to type, then Epoch will be click to type also.

That's the trick.  Be sure your window manager is in "input-follows-
mouse" mode.  For OpenWindows 2.0, I have the following in my
.Xdefaults file:

OpenWindows.SetInput:	followmouse

That's because OpenWindows will otherwise default to the dreaded
"click-to-type" mode.
