Only if you want it to. Could we make this a style option?

In mousefocus mode you can still change focus without using the mouse.
I use the Direction function to do this and you don't have to warp the
mouse. So it is possible to have the mouse over one window with the
focus on another (possibly transient) window. In this case closing the
focus window should switch back to the mouse-containing window
(probably).

Cheers,
