The absolute value of the delay is used to set up a timer whenever the
mouse crosses a window border. Usually though, the mouse pointer
already appears at a completely different position at the moment I
install the timer. Unfortunately, I can't access that position easily.
When the timer triggers I do (provided other conditions apply as well)
- for a positive delay select the window,
- for a negative delay check whether mouse-position is the same as the
last time I checked.
Now, the very first "last time I checked" occurs at the window border as
I explained above. Hence the first time the timer fires, the recorded
mouse-positions are usually _not_ equal and I have to restart the timer
until they are. In practice this means that if I set the delay to -1
and move to the center of another window in a single stroke, the window
is selected after 2 seconds which is more than 1 seconds after the mouse
stopped moving. Since this is slightly counterintuitive I wouldn't want
to make that the default.

Currently, there is only one delay. Do you think I should use two
different delays?
