But in Solaris (which I am using at work), you can click with the mouse
in a window without forcing it to the top. You have exactly the same
options, hover the mouse raises the window to the top, or just makes it
active. If you just want to make it active, then to raise it to the top,
you need to click in the window header or something like this.

At least I think, it would be nice if I could click with the mouse in a
window, without raising it to the top
