Do nothing is simply bad. I expect that some action initiates a reaction
(if not, this should be clear; example: disabled buttons).

After 3, we return to 1. If I want to return to another window, I'll
need an extra click.

Again, I'm not talking about changing the default (so this new option
would not affect 90% of users, I guess). I'm talking about adding this
possibility to those who want this.

I've done a patch to add this option (configurable via ccsm), but it was
rejected. See the result in this video:
