[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

In emacs -Q, disable scroll-bar-mode and evaluate:

(let ((mouse-autoselect-window t))
  (select-frame-set-input-focus (window-frame)))

The mouse pointer will now be to the right of the window frame; with
normal window managers, this doesn't matter much, except that a "resize
this window" cursor might be shown rather than the usual one, but with
tiling window managers, the cursor position may correspond to another
window, which is then raised and wrongly receives keyboard focus. This
actually happened to me.

The attached patch fixes things, by moving the mouse pointer to the last
valid x position.
