I really agree with this.  I have been using a program written in Squeak
in a classroom lab situation, and almost all of the students have
problems with the current focus scheme.  They have strong muscle-memory
to click in a text box then to throw the pointer out of the way before
typing.  Yes, I could and do train them; but one of the major points of
the software is to reduce the amount of learning needed for a particular
task :) :)

Having this as a preference in the image would definately ease one of
the initial problems people from MacOS and Windows backgrounds encounter
when trying Squeak.
