If mouse is hovering some other window than the newly created window when it is created, the hovered window should be focused according to focus follows mouse policy. I am not fan of the focus follows mouse policy, but if someone wants to use it, I would not remove it.

I can't write the documentation because I don't fully understand the meaning of those window manager tweaks settings for focus. If I remember right, applications can override these settings. As for patches, I need some tutoring.
