I'm confused as to your statement that it's "not of high importance for
a particular use-case".  To be honest, I think your info may be wholly
inaccurate.

This is not some corner case regarding desktop behavior.  It's a MAJOR
use of X, period.

Focus-follows-click or focus-follows-mouse.

Those have been the 2 options since I started using Motif back in 1993.
It's been true on every single UNIX and Linux flavor that I've ever
used:  FreeBSD, SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.X, IRIX, OSF/1, HP-UX, AIX, RHL,
RHEL, Fedora, Mandrake, Ubuntu-up-until-this-release-that-decided-to-
break-a-major-use-case.

I'm all for having this resolved, but the speed with which updates are
being put out for Unity, and the patently obvious disregard for such a
major issue in favor of other issues speaks volumes to me about the
distro's priorities.  I'm grateful for Ubuntu.  I really am.  And to the
devs, testers, and architects who worked tirelessly to give us something
for free.  But since it's free, I can't vote with my wallet to protest
something.  I don't even want to protest.  I just want my mouse and alt-
tab to work properly, like they have for the last 18 years.

Hell - is anyone up the Ubuntu chain even reading this?
