Install unity-tweak-tool, run it, select "Window Manager" ->
"Additional" and set the focus mode to "sloppy".

- whatever window the mouse is over will have focus
- windows will not auto raise

So cut and paste between windows means marking/cutting in one, moving
over the other, and pasting.

There's probably a gconf setting for this, but unity-tweak-toll is
simple and effective. I use it for hot corners too.

Regards, K.
