Adding mouse focus support is desirable, but this is already tracked in another bug. sloppy.c is bad code that should probably be removed.

I feel ok wrt. this, unless someone makes threats of committing suicide this is a change desired by a few users.

That said, there are constraints, as you mention:
- off by default
- no additional deps
- reasonable UI to activate/deactivate it
- integrates well in ratpoison's current code

Thank you in the name of such users. ;-)

If there's no objection to permitting mouse usage in the rp core code, I'll have a look at implementing this, since I may be the only person interested enough to make the change.

I agree that rp branding may require that full functionality does not require a mouse, but I would actually like to have the option sometimes to gesture with it.

Running sloppy has the undesired effect of making keyboard focus changes no longer work.

I think the solution would be to merge sloppy into the rp source (as a "set" option, of course, so that mouse behavior isn't enabled by default). The problem seems to be that a keyboard-initiated focus change doesn't warp the mouse, so the next XEvent that sloppy sees convinces sloppy that a new window should be focused.

I'm not sure why sloppy should see an EnterNotify in this case.
