> Click-to-focus means that if you want to (for instance) select the crop tool and then use it, you have to click on the tool palette to give it focus, then click on the crop tool, then click on the image to give it focus, then click on it again to start cropping.

That's not true of all click-to-focus arrangements. In most window managers I've used, there is a configuration setting which controls whether the initial click to focus the window is also passed on to the application, in which case you don't need to select the tool palette and image window separately, just click on the tool and then perform the crop. Normally this is enabled by default.
