Yes, one of the most useful and underrated utilities I know of, xse.

If you happen to use Gentoo Linux it's available via portage, otherwise
you will have to google for it :)

Example:

        $ xse -win 0x4400001 '<EnterNotify> Normal DetailNone'

or:

        Prev (x2x) Exec xse -win $[w.id] '<EnterNotify> Normal DetailNone'

Interesting, I thought you were mistaken about WarpToWindow, but I tried it
myself and you're right.
