But "sloppy focus" as you describe wont work either with a
cluttered desktop with lots of windows (as is usually the state
of my desktop.) Even with sloppy focus there's no way I could get
the mouse from a window to the menu at the top of the screen
without going over another window. (Or have I misunderstood
something?)
