OK, this is "solved" inasmuch as I now have "focus follows mouse."
I installed NVidia drivers because I needed them. Dunno if you will.
yum install compiz-fusion compiz-fusion-extras \
compiz-fusion-extras-gnome compiz-fusion-gnome \
compiz-fusion-unsupported compiz-fusion-unsupported-gnome \
compizconfig-backend-gconf ccsm
System/Preferences/Startup Applications
- add compiz-manager
Logout, log back in or do alt+f2 to run compiz-manager
System/Preferences/CompizConfig Settings Manager
- General Options
- Focus and Raise Behavior tab
- Uncheck click to focus and raise on click
Done! Focus now follows mouse!
Hope this is helpful.
