This should be relatively easy to implement. Could even steal some code
from the autoraise module... Which raises the question, Should there be a
placement module? Can there be, if the server is grabbed during
placement? Hmmmmm....

This is a moldy oldie. It was first implemented (I believe), in uwm, the
original window manager that was dropped starting X11R3. It is in twm and
all derivatives, mwm, and a couple of others. Even xmag uses the same
logic. Personally, I never used it, found it useless. However, to each
his own....
Draw up a table of the mouse buttons, and the behavior that you expect for
each. Might not be so hard.
