Word of advice; don't use focus follows mouse if you plan on running
GNUstep applications. They just don't go well together. It's not only
menus that are problematic. Inspectors, palettes, font/color dialogs,
and other additional windows tend to hide themselves when the
application looses focus. OpenStep and focus follows mouse is not a
match made in heaven.
