	Well, I'm a little confused about which behavior you prefer here, so
here's how you get either one.  To make keyboard focus follow the mouse, add 
this line to your .Xdefaults (this presumes you're using mwm, but you refer to
it above so I'll assume that's what you want):

	Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy:	pointer

If you want input focus to remain with a window even after you've moved the
cursor out of that window (i.e. if you want focus changes to occur only after
explicitly clicking in a window) add the following to your .Xdefaults:

	Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy:	explicit

Hope that helps.

These opinions are my own.  I doubt IBM wants them.......
