thise commit added focus_policy member to E_Border as something to be used for setting a per-window focus policy. setting it on each window is a huge pain if the global policy ever changes, so it's better to use this member only as an override for the global policy which can be checked to see if it's been set
buckle up. for the first time in history, a config option is getting removed instead of added.
the reasons for this removal are many, but let's go way back to the beginning and see why it was added:
oh wait, we can't because the commit message (from 2006) is
>> patches that i said were in - commit. (see my reply emails)
>> also finish off a TODO item or 2
reading through the TODO items which were also crossed off in that commit, I'm assuming that this was the "option to NOT raise on focus in click to focus" item.
== REASON 1 ==
the problem here is that there's another, BETTER option called "click raises window" (always_click_to_raise) which does the same thing, except it doesn't totally fuck you when you get a random X focus event, which happens more often than you might think.
this means that, to avoid broken behavior which might cause your windows to spastically raise for a few frames in common cases (using winlist...) with click-to-focus, you have to know that this is the default-enabled option that's fucking you, and you have to remember to manually disable it every time. if you DON'T know that this is the option that's fucking you, and you just see windows randomly raising on their own, you'll probably either ignore it or file a bug, when this is supposed to be a "feature" that actually worked in reverse, since it was intended only for disabling.
== REASON 2 ==
there's also auto-raise, which can be set to 0.0s, which is effectively the same thing since it also triggers on focus but can be configured not to fuck your window stack
== REASON 3 ==
aaand finally, this option makes any sort of pointer focus model impossible to use, since your windows will constantly be raising all over as you move the mouse
tl;dr: I'm removing it, e-dealwithit.gif
When a modal window closes, we get several mouse in events for some
reason. If we are not able to set focus several times, the focus ends up
the wrong place.

Do not abuse the concept of e_*_init(), make them call-once and those
that needed multiple call are renamed to e_*_update(). To make sure
convert them to EINTERN so the symbols are not exported.
Actually I guess too much is exported as EAPI while they should be
EINTERN, but that would require manual investigation, while this patch
was basically created with sed + grep.

1. e17 is now relocatable. the wm will determine its install prefix on the
fly when it is run. so you can use --prefix=/usr/local/e17 and just move the
base dir (/usr/local/e17) to anywhere you like at any later time and e will
adjust and find it. it still has built in fallbacks too so it will use the
compiled prefix as normal if its hunting and 2 checks dont pass.
2. edit mode for gadgets will work with alt+left click on a gadget and
instantly end when u lift the mouse. alst ctrl+alt+g will activate/deactivate
