I tried that just then.  Now I remember that from past versions of
redhat.  Yes it does exactly what I want (in terms of window focus)...
except now I don't have the same selection of window borders.  In fact,
in menu-> preferences-> theme-> theme details; the window border option
has gone.  And the one I use (ageing gorilla) isn't in sawfish-ui... 
(Where will this end?!)

Easy enough.  But just because it may not be easy isn't a good enough
reason to drop customisation completely and force one set of options for
all.  The better solution would be to default to those options, and let
mad people like me customise them if they want.

I agree.  KDE has its own problems :)
