I am running epoch along with the Open Look window manager,
in focus follows-mouse mode.

Unfortunately epoch windows get 'warped' to the front whenever
they receive focus, which is whenever you drag the mouse across them.

Is there a way to turn this off?

Of course I could use click - focus mode,
or tell olwm to bring _every_ window to the front when
it recieves focus...

but a 'proper' solution would be preferable.

-thanks

Sounds like you just want to have Epoch stop auto-raising its windows.
I use Epoch with OpenWindows and have this in my .emacs:

(if (boundp 'epoch::version)
    (setq auto-raise-screen nil))

Now a click on the title bar or pressing L5 will raise a window, which
is what I want.

Also, the minibuffer sometimes gets lost under other non-Epoch
windows, so I set up a mouse-click to raise it:

(defun mouse-raise-minibuf (arg)
  (epoch::raise-screen (epoch::minibuf-screen))
  )
(global-set-mouse mouse-left mouse-meta 'mouse-raise-minibuf)

So clicking the left button with the meta key down will raise the
minibuffer window no matter where it is.
