This does not convince me. I thought the point of "Click to focus" is *not* 
to raise windows prematurely. If you want to raise windows with one click, 
why not simply use the "Click to activate" mode?

And also, I take it Axel implemented the mode at the moment, such that a 
single left click on the decorator will already raise the window? So you 
should be happy?!
