Occasionally it is annoying.
I also find sloppy focus quite annoying, but I don't prefer click-to-focus
neither. Since I anyway use mostly keyboard, it's irritating to grab the
mouse to switch the window - therefore I use keyboard for that stuff.

Suppose it depends, I've been conditioned, and expect that when I move a

Unless, of course, you don't HAVE a touchpad to disable. (However, the

Well, dwm had focus follows mouse since its first minute. I'm not going to
change this when it is approaching the age of 5 tomorrow.

it's probably best not to change it. It

Ah, thanks. Halfway there. So,
I use a script for weechat that fires off a sound, sends a dbus
notification and sets the urgent hint on the window. Works relatively
well for me. I know there is a similar script for irssi, but for
smaller clients (like ii or sic) you'll need to script something
yourself, if I'm not mistaken.
