Perhaps for you, but for me, it's just the opposite. I hate touching
the mouse. When I do a "search" in netscape, for example, a transient
pops up and then I must move the mouse to that window before I can
type anything. This slows me down immensely.
I don't think this should be something that is always active, but I
would like to be able to enable it.

Perhaps it would be best if the transient only automatically got focus
if its parent already had focus? Perhaps this option could be tri-state:
never, always, if-parent-has-focus.
