-
- <para>One focus policy is called

- upon receiving a mouse click. In the
- <quote>focus-follows-mouse</quote> policy, the window that is under the mouse pointer
- has focus and the focus is changed by pointing at
- another window. If the mouse is over the root window, then this
- window is focused. In the <quote>sloppy-focus</quote> model, if
- the mouse is moved over the root window, the most recently used window still
- has the focus. With sloppy-focus, focus
- is only changed when the cursor enters a new
- window, and not when exiting the current
- window. In the <quote>click-to-focus</quote> policy, the active window is selected by mouse click.
- The window may then be raised and
- appear in front of all other windows. All keystrokes
- will now be directed to this window, even if the
- cursor is moved to another window.</para>

- <para>Different window managers
- support different focus models. All of them support
- click-to-focus, and the majority of them also support other policies.
