Not this again :(

How about someone who isn't satisfied with the range of choices currently offered, created some kind of focus/raise policy table. I'd like an overview of how OroboROX currently handles these things in different situations (click on title/content, workspace change, new window spawned ...) and what combination of focus/raise behaviour is missing. Maybe I can wrap my head around it and find a way to group the options in a new way without adding a myriad of new ones.
What further is going to complicate matters is the ongoing efforts of the fdo people to create new window manager hints which are supposed to replace options by telling the WM to do the right thing in every special situation.
