Okay, which idiot decided that moving a mouse over an icon was a
significant act?  I often find myself moving the pointer to where I expect
a window to appear as I command-tab between applications.  Of course, if
you run over the icon for any application then guess what the switcher
does?  It moves the focus to that application, meaning I get totally the
wrong application popping up.

If I click on it, it means I want it to have focus.  If I move over it, it
means *nothing*.  Moving the mouse with no buttons pressed shouldn't do
anything.  STUPID STUPID STUPID.

Hate and more hate.

Mark.

P.S. Lightswitch X got this right.  (But I don't have it installed
everywhere for the reasons explained in why I hate software that you have
to enter licence codes for rant)
