Last time I looked it was alledged but "no raise on click" was not
offered and couldn't be manually done.

You can change the timing on xfce, inherited from the brill fvwm and
also the timing of desktop scroll by mouse.
I am getting the impression that many missed a detail.
It also supports focus follows mouse, no raise on click
^^
I am talking about focus follows mouse but raise only on clicking say
the border or bar, you can still enter text into any layered windows
that have focus. So you can quickly switch for entry to or from web
pages on one screen or read a web page in the background. Reference 4
open windows at once, use the scroll upon focus etc.. Basically the
closest thing to a panelling window manager like scrotwm (which I could
learn) without needing to learn the commands (works for my users too
and I should test what I provide) and allowing overlapping for
redundant web edges, saves time re-sizing etc..
