This is hooey.  X Windows and Motif are both very customizable on any
platform.  If you put the following 3 lines in your personal '.Xdefaults'
file, you get SGI-like behavior (pointer focus, interactive placement,
etc.) -

Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy:      	pointer
Mwm*focusAutoRaise:		False
Mwm*interactivePlacement:       True

(The focusAutoRaise prevents a window from being raised when it
gains focus - ie when you move the pointer into it.  Clicking on the
window still raises it.)
