[spread] window not focused on mouse hover

[Felix Yan]

unity-2d-launcher's 'spread' cannot activate one window when mouse move-over it, should this be changed?
for some special programs only update interfaces if their windows got focus, I want to check if they're running correctly only by mouse-over it in 'spread' while unity-3d really does what i expected.

Thanks for the bug report Felix.

If I understand correctly you have 2 problems in the spread of windows:
1) Windows are not being focused when the mouse pointer goes over them (like it does in Unity 3D)
2) Windows content are never being updated

I am afraid we will only fix part 1) of the bug because of the technological constraint of not using hardware accelerated OpenGL.

Could the updated be even slower to fit the non-hardware accelerated OpenGL? for example only 1fps's update when focused

This is one possibility we could experiment with indeed.
