Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
The Window Preferences control panel does not have any option to disable raise-on-click behaviour in Metacity. Instead I have to use gconf-editor to disable it manually. Raise-on-click makes focus-follows-mouse mode largely useless; the whole point of focus-follows-mouse mode is to allow the user to interact with windows other than the one at the front. Forcing raise-on-click means that this isn't possible (interacting with the window will cause it to be raised). It's a major usability issue.
