It's only "broken on modern desktops" if by "modern desktops" you refer to recent Gnome-based environments.

What do you mean by "recent Gnome-based environments"? Are you saying that Unity and gnome-shell both suffer from focus-follows-mouse bugs (I have to admit to being a bit behind and not having tried either yet)? Or are you also implicating metacity in Gnome2 (which would go against my experience, but perhaps you know of a specific issue I don't)?

I was referring mainly to the Unity desktop, but apparently the mainstream Gnome desktop environment is also making it more difficult to select FFM behavior compared to past versions--not to mention the way the new shared menu bar conflicts with a FFM focus policy. It's not being /removed/, per se, but their design decisions seem to assume it won't actually be /used/, which is nearly as bad.
