This is hooey. X Windows and Motif are both very customizable on any
platform. If you put the following 3 lines in your personal '.Xdefaults'
file, you get SGI-like behavior (pointer focus, interactive placement,
etc.) -
Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer
Mwm*focusAutoRaise: False
Mwm*interactivePlacement: True
(The focusAutoRaise prevents a window from being raised when it
gains focus - ie when you move the pointer into it. Clicking on the
window still raises it.)
