Focus-follows-Mouse and maximizing problems in Fluxbox 1.0rc3

I upgraded from .9.11 (i think), to 1.0rc3.

1)  There is no sloppy focus anymore (it seems as of 9.14.)

from here: http://www.fluxbox.org/version-0.9.php

"SloppyFocus, SemiSloppyFocus and ClickToFocus options are now
      MouseFocus, ClickFocus, MouseTabFocus and ClickTabFocus"

By Sloppy Focus I mean the mouse only focuses on windows when the mouse
stops moving.  Or, at least offer a delay (possibly configurable), such that
the wm focuses the window after the delay.

This is really frustrating, and make flux 100% unusable for me.  Too 
bad, I love
flux otherwise - mouse wheeling, the nice panel, sweet themes, 
everything about it,
well, except for the next thing

2)  In .9.11 i could maximize aterm and it would sit on top of the panel 
(toolbar.)
now there's a gap.  No amount of theme changing, tweeking, font changing 
etc, will fix it.
Why could flux .9.11 do it, but not it can't?  Why can't a bit of extra 
window be added,
so that mouse focus works better.  (Actually, with a focus delay, see 1, 
this is less important.)

Any insight would be mucho mucho appreciated.!

cheers
