What a #^&%$!! I'm playing with it, and I've yet to see anything that
reorders the window list when using mouse focus. I'd *love* to use
FlipFocus, but I'm not changing to ClickToFocus just to do it!

I suppose I could start things in just the right order to get this all
to work out, but that seems really silly!
