Focus, Mouse Focus (e.g. for scrolling), Keyboard Focus, raising to the foreground.. aren't these all different things? What exactly do you mean with "assuming you want a new window focused"? do you mean i want it raised above all other windows, or rather do i want it focused? I for one need "focus" and "raise" untangled in this thread, this is a big one for me.

I suppose that is the behaviour you are referring to. For Compiz, there are some GConf entries that had me a little confused.. just CTRL+F Compiz in gconf-editor to see what i mean.
