See, default Unix window manager behavior usually dictates that a click in the window itself does *not* raise the window. However, this was the default behavior in Gnome for quite some time, until numerous people started complaining and filed a bug report to get the action changed to the way it should be. To get the action of clicking in a window to raise it, one should use click-to-focus, not focus-follows-mouse. Focus-follows-mouse mode now only raises the window when clicking the border.
