With .emacs containing:

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(focus-follows-mouse t)
'(mouse-autoselect-window t))
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
)

it is still necessary to click on a window to select it.
This is a problem that is new in Emacs 23 in contrast to Emacs 22.

Best regards,

Eric Martin.
