I used the Advanced Settings applet to set my window focus to automatically activate teh window when the mouse is over the window. However, one thing I don't like is that the behavior will actually bring the window to the front as well. I really liked how I had things set up in Gnome2 with compiz where the mouse pointer would grab window focus, but the window would remain on the same 'layer' In addition, I had compiz set up to make background windows varying degrees of transparency so I could see layered windows.
Is there any way to regain this functionality in Gnome3?
