focus (does not) follow mouse

Hello list,

I'm entirely new to WM, just installed it (vers 0.81.0) on my SuSE 9.2 
notebook. Before I froget about it, I want to record a first 
problem/experience with this list.
 A conditio sine qua non for me to use any window manager is this "focus 
follows mouse" mode - I'm so used to it I've already deleted files or 
messed up configurations when this feature was not implemented.
So in WPrefs I selected "Auto" in the Windows Focus Preferences, 
restarted WM and nothing had changed. After some more trying, I turned 
to editing the WindowMaker file directly and found no entry "FocusMode" 
in the first place.  Adding this entry with the value 
"FocusFollowsMouse" didn't help either, but setting it to "Sloppy"  
finally had the desired effect.
Dunno whether this was due to some blunder of mine or is a feature of 
SuSE Linux ;-)

Thomas
