Comment (by tangobravo):

 I remember all this being discussed on the ML a while back, and I still
 wonder if there isn't a better arrangement for the settings.

 What about:
 {{{
 Focus Mode: "On Click", "Follows Mouse" (drop down)
 [x] Unfocussed Windows Accept First Click
 [x] Raise Background Windows on Click
 }}}
 Then
 {{{
 FFM -> Focus: Follows Mouse (accept first click checkbox disabled).
 "Click to Activate" -> Focus: On Click and Raise on Click
 "Click to Focus" -> Focus: On Click and Raise on Click disabled
 }}}

 It also gives the slightly weird hybrid of FFM and Click to Activate. I
 think I see the Focus Mode and Activation as pretty orthogonal.

 To really go off-topic - for me the "accept first click" should be default
 behaviour. I think it's more confusing for users to have to click twice on
 controls to get a response. The tab is always there if you just want to
 mess with the window order or position.
