When I rewrote the focus related options I could not avoid
changing the default behaviour in some situations.

It does not work anymore because I took the opportunity to clean
up the "click to raise" handling. While some focus policies
worked with any modifier held down when clicking to raise, others
required that no modifier was held. I thought it would be good to
ignore the modifier by default. You can get the old behaviour
with
Style * FPFocusClickModifiers N
or
FocusStyle * FocusClickModifiers N
I am unsure if I should try to fix the defaults for MouseFocus and
Sloppy Focus.
