I wrote this response too quickly... let me clarify...
You are right about the default focus policy, but it is common for
light weight window managers (twm, blackbox before it got bloated,
etc) to maintain this. Thus this characteristic is not something
unique to window-manager-less setups. Plus having a WM allows you to
actually move the windows rather than relying on -geometry and having
them fixed for life.

No, that's not true. If that's happening, then you have a window
manager. If you can move windows at all, then you have a window
manager. Try running X on a *nix box which uses X11 as its
windowing system with just 'exec xterm' in your .xsession
or .xinitrc to see what no window-manager looks like.
