Should we make it a console method, and use the magic symbol stuff for compatibility? Or, should we make it a console-local variable, which is kludgier but creates less problems? > Also, the default value of focus-follows-mouse should be set > according to the window manager's focus policy.

Why not the opposite -- nil under Windows, and true under Unix? -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- "Silence!" cries Freydag.
