I mentioned this in another thread but its worth repeating.

FFM in Terminal.app
default write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -string YES
and restart Terminal.app

FFM in X11
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm true
and restart X11

The hate here is that Apple hides these features rather than make them
available through normal preference menus which are instead filled with such
critical items like how transparent you want your terminal windows to be.
And that if you want FFM for all apps you have to buy something like
CodeTek Virtual Desktop Pro for $40.
