Yes (although you were probably ashamed of the way Emacs behaves due to
my changes).

Emacs 22 uses `w32-focus-frame' but I think Jason has changed that for
Emacs 23. The doc-string is
w32-focus-frame is a built-in function in `src/w32fns.c'.
(w32-focus-frame frame)
Give frame input focus, raising to foreground if necessary.
Hence, the Windows substitute for `x-focus-frame' and
`select-frame-set-input-focus' both raise the frame.

`focus-follows-mouse' nil should inhibit selecting and subsequently
raising another frame. If it doesn't it's a bug.

The problem is that mouse movement also generates a switch-frame event
which is equally disturbing. But I'm already convinced that there's no
reason to either focus or raise the frame in `handle-select-window'.

An auto-raise window-manager doesn't raise the window in order to give
it focus but simply in order to avoid changing the position of `point'
(as you would do with a mouse click) when you want to switch to a
specific window with the mouse.
