I use MouseFocus, and just tried SloppyFocus. Looks like some things
are getting in the way, and I'll have to look at it more closely. The
question is, should SloppyFocus force the old window to retain focus
even when the cursor crosses a screen boundary? I'm not sure and I
don't like SloppyFocus much. I'd be interesting to hear what other
multi-headed users think, then I can try to debug the 2-screen
situation (although Mark or others will have to help with #screens >
2).
