I'm sorry I never responded to your request; I was travelling when it
arrived, then sick, then too busy to test it carefully.  In the mean
time, I see a corrected version is installed in the trunk.  I just
wanted to confirm that this version does what I expect: with my mouse
follows click policy, focus-follows-mouse set to nil and
mouse-autoselect-window set to non-nil, moving the mouse over a
non-selected frame no longer makes the mode line of that frame active,
nor changes the tool bar or frame title, also in the split-window
cases.  Thanks (belatedly) for fixing this issue.
