Good call. It turned out I was logging into something called gnome/openbox. When I actually logged into LXDE the problem disappeared. I suppose I could persue why 'focus follows mouse' doesn't work in gnome/openbox but I don't really care enough since I don't like openbox much anyway. I meant to be using LXDE all along. This is a vm (vbox) with debian as guest, and has been setting here unused a good while... I fired it up and updated everthing, and never noticed I was in something besides LXDE. After a few days of setup, finally got around to being bothered enough missing 'focus follows mouse' to start snivelling. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
