Good call. It turned out I was logging into something called
gnome/openbox.
When I actually logged into LXDE the problem disappeared.
I suppose I could persue why 'focus follows mouse' doesn't work in
gnome/openbox but I don't really care enough since I don't like
openbox much anyway. I meant to be using LXDE all along.
This is a vm (vbox) with debian as guest, and has been setting here
unused a good while... I fired it up and updated everthing, and never
noticed I was in something besides LXDE. After a few days of setup,
finally got around to being bothered enough missing 'focus follows
mouse' to start snivelling.
