        Unfortunately, there are three problems:
a) I use FocusFollowsMouse
b) I use SloppyFocus
c) This doesn't solve my problem, and has nothing to do at ALL with what
   I'm moaning and groaning about. This should help you understand the
   problem. Click your third mouse to bring up WinList. Select an xterm
   window off the list. Notice how the mouse cursor jumps to the top
   left corner of the window? That is the behavior I don't like. But
   PLEASE don't tell me I can change it by giving arguements to Focus.
   I don't want to move the mouse cursor around inside the window. I
   want the mouse cursor to STAY WHERE IT IS ON THE SCREEN!!! :-)

However, I do like your Next and Prev bindings.. if I can get the mouse
to stay where it is, I'll be quite happy with those.. :-)
