I prefer the "focus follows mouse" mode with gimp because I'm using a lot the keyboard shortcuts and find it very useful to activate a picture without clicking into it. But with many opened pictures, when I work with layers, I often move the mouse from the active picture to the "layer dialog" window : if the mouse moves accidentally on any other piture in a lower z-order, this change the layer view to the wrong picture.

This looks very interesting...

This looks interesting. Would you mind entering a bug in our bugzilla
database (http://bugzilla.xfce.org) and attach the patch there? This
way, your patch won't be lost or forgotten.

No problem, very few of us are native English speakers...

Cheers,
Olivier.
