lost mouse-over selection of windows

[Bill Scott]

For as long as I can remember I've had this system configured to bring a window into focus as the mouse travels over it. Without overtly changing any X or mouse driver configuration parameters the functionality has vanished. Now a mouse click is required to bring a window into focus.

Another issue here is the ease of finding this configuration option has been abstracted away. It may still be there, however I'm too pressed for time to spend more than the time already invested to fix something that was never broken....until now.
