>From the FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html 3.5. Is there a Focus-Follows-Mouse feature (Auto-Focus)? This is a setting of the windowmanager used. The default windowmanager twm has no such feature. But with fvwm2 this can be achieved with the this configuration entry: Focus FocusFollowsMouse Other windowmanagers (eg. windowmaker) have similar features too. If you are using the -multiwindow mode you can not set this behaviour in the windowmanager but you can use the TweakUI tool to enable this feature for all windows, not limited to Cygwin/X windows.
