You can enable it in the Mouse preflet. Another bad placement of an option
which we inherited from BeOS... I can tell from experience with eXposer users
in the university that enabling it by default will give some trouble. Mostly
people move the mouse away when they want to type something into a window and
then they type elsewhere. They will get used to it eventually, but it's an
unnecessary annoyance. Ingo may chime in with his own set of FFM-gripes.
