Comment 4 for bug 990909

Experiencing the same symptoms here under 12.04. Just commenting to helpfully help get some visibility.

I don't know why more people don't use focus follows mouse, and auto-raise. Probably because the option has been completely removed from the default menus as posted above. These are pretty standard features for X Window Manager, why make them so difficult to configure? Now you have to know the feature exists and search for a way to enable it.
