Well, I very much like passing the click through, but you need to be
careful that your window design provides enough non-active space that
you can easily find somewhere to bring it to the front without
activating it. Windows windows, have the title bar, the status bar, the
right (empty) portion of the menu bar and toolbar, etc... Squeak
windows really only have the title bar (and the borders but they're hard
to grab quickly).
Still, I'd very much like a configuration option for that behaviour
because it definitely annoys me when it isn't there: I am constantly
having to double click to do anything.
