Correct. For those who don't recall, this was a much requested
feature (for Focus not to warp the pointer, that is).

Actually, better would be to use something like the following
function:

  AddToFunc FocusAndWarp "I" Focus
  + "I" WarpToWindow 2p 2p

and bind that to the click event (because WarpToWindow won't actually
change the focus on it's own in click to focus mode).
