Title:
  "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" is incompatible with
  global menu bar

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-control-center source package in Natty:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The global menu bar used by Unity is basically incompatible with the
  "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" option in "System" >
  "Preferences" > "Windows" (gnome-window-properties). This is because
  moving the mouse to the menu bar will often move it over another
  window, changing the window focus.

  So, whenever Unity is being used with the global menu bar:
  * the "Window Selection" section of the "Window Preferences" window should be hidden
  * the "Select windows when the mouse moves over them" option should be treated as if it was off.
