You might, but AFAIK not on OS X where I'd be interested in implementing the
feature (because it's not an option in the window manager).

Sure. This works on OS X though (and I think the WM is supposed to comply):
- (void)mouseEntered:(NSEvent *)event
{
[[self window] makeKeyWindow];
}
Maybe I could extend QCocoaView (or the corresponding ObjC class) to do
something like this in the application I'm trying to modify, but frankly, I
think I'd prefer to avoid that, no matter how much I like the fact one *can*
pull off that kind of stunt with ObjC :)
In fact, Apple's own terminal emulator even has a FFM feature that works if the
app isn't the active application.
R.
