Hi

I think this is an excellent idea. I mean, AutoRaise is not supposed
to have any effect on the functioning of the pager, but having the
pager changing desks as it gets mouse focus on the appropriate spot,
this would be cool. And also quite confusing sometimes :-)

Let's see. A simple modification in the pager, which will configurably
replace MOUSE_CLICK event with GOT_FOCUS (yes, now you know I'm
completely illiterate about X programming) and will add a configurable
wait duration functionality could not be so difficult.

As about pager tooltips, somebody has already published here a series
of patches (I appologize, I forgot the name and I'm too sleepy now to
search in the archive).

                                Friendly, Cristian
