I think if you have the focus following the mouse and autoraise set it
will bring a window to the front when the mouse moves over it. It
won't sink back down again, but other windows will move in front as
you move the mouse over them.

So,
	OpenWindows.AutoRaise:	true
	OpenWindows.SetInput:	followmouse
in your .Xdefaults and xrdb .Xdefaults in your .xinitrc.

Now my question! You know how you can group several windows together
with the middle mouse button and move them around together. Well I
really *WISH* you could close one of them and they would all close to
icons. Then you could have groups of icons on your screen and open and
close whole groups to change what you were doing.

Any ideas?

				Mark.
