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.

I have the opposite problem to the OP. DWM sometimes does some clever focusing

Since the two sides seem fairly even, as far as I can tell, I agree
it's probably best not to change it. It can just be a l

Unless, of course, you don't HAVE a touchpad to disable. (However, the
touchpad is definitely 100% easier to hit than the mouse.)

Suppose it depends, I've been conditioned, and expect that when I move a
mouse into another window, focus should go there, so much that when I'm
on Windows I'll use some tweaking program to implement

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.

Occasionally it is annoyin
As my vote, I prefer to keep sloppy focus, at the very least as an
option, (the fact that sloppy focus doesn't seem to work properly on
Windows means I'm forced back to click to focus at work at it's
driving me mad the sheer volume of unnecessary clicking).
Incidentally, I use the mouse a LOT with
