Pointer warping is almost always the right thing to do; the only
circumstances where it isn't the right thing seem to be when you are
switching to another frame.

Ratpoison is supposed to manage our windows for us, remember?  Could you
add a setting to try out a version of warp that only warps when you
change windows within a frame, but not when you switch focus to another
frame?

I worry that now we have frames, we're going to run into the old
sloppy-focus, focus-follows-mouse, and click-to-focus issues that have
beset every other window manager under the sun.
