Now I remember that from past versions of redhat. Yes it does exactly what I want (in terms of window focus)... except now I don't have the same selection of window borders. In fact, in menu-> preferences-> theme-> theme details; the window border option has gone. And the one I use (ageing gorilla) isn't in sawfish-ui...

But just because it may not be easy isn't a good enough reason to drop customisation completely and force one set of options for all. The better solution would be to default to those options, and let mad people like me customise them if they want. > Completely dropping GNOME and installing KDE is obviously an > overreaction -- there are less intrusive changes you can make to use a > different window manager.
