#724 Focus/Mapping behavior change in 1.2.28

When focusOnMap in default.h is set to false in 1.2.28,
manualPlacement loses its effect -- new windows are
instantly assigned a position on screen rather than
being able to move them.
In 1.2.27, this worked fine -- new windows would not
get focus when they are mapped, yet could still be
moved around.

I don't think this is a bug, if you wish to place all windows, set FocusOnMap=1.

(or propose a better behavior)

I do not want them to be focused when mapped. But when I move the mouse one pixel, it should get focus, and I should be able to place it manually. -- The way it worked back with ... IIRC 1.2.26 and earlier.

Does settings FocusOnMap=1 not work well?

That focuses the window instantly, which is not what I want. If you're online, let me know if I can show you the Good Bits of an earlier version that are now missing over VNC.
