I'm new to epoch, so I appologise if this question has already been asked.

First an observation:

Epoch seems to take on responsibility for a couple of things that seem
better left to the window-manager.

The first thing that I noticed is the "auto-raise-screen" feature.  Most
(all?)  window managers can optionally do this for you.  If I choose not to
do this, I'd rather not specify it again to each client in a
client-specific manner.  Is there some good reason that this was built into
Epoch?  I realize I can (setq auto-raise-screen nil), but why was this
feature implemented at all?

The second thing which seems "un-X-like" is the window focus.  I happen to
dislike "click-to-type".  So far, I've not found an easy way to make X
window-focus map to Epoch screen-focus.  One byproduct of this seems to be
that when I move my cursor out of Epoch entirely (say to an xterm), I have
two solid cursors on my screen, so it is confusing as to where my X
window-focus currently is.

Has anybody implemented a hack that makes Epoch behave more like you'd
expect with window/screen focus?

As with most comments like this, I've just listed the things I don't like
about Epoch, and none of the things I like.  I like Epoch a lot, and
listing all the things I like would make this message even longer, so I'll
spare you.  Suffice to say - Thanks!
