"Lazy mouse" is an obsolete and broken PARC concept from the Dawn of Windows. 
It's where you skate the mouse, don't click, and the keyboard focus jumps to the 
window under the mouse - sometimes without raising it.

There are just so many reasons this is wrong. One of them is <Alt+Tab> might 
_not_ change the keyboard focus, if the mouse cursor were in the "wrong" place. 
Most GUIs since the PARC research have not used lazy mouse.

In general, I needed a compiz configuration with this magic:

  - change not one of my usabilities
  - do the eyecandy!!
  - provide a View that lets me incrementally add the new usabilities,
      one at a time

Compiz also had a terminal conflict with cairo-dock, but I ain't gonna write 
that one up!

Very simply so I don't have to spend time researching what they are. I need you 
to imagine I am some student of computing, who has installed Ubuntu for the very 
first time. I know the Windows keystrokes, so (for example) I select the 
installer's "Windows shortcuts" settings.

I am no student, and I use custom keystrokes all the time. (Just yesterday I 
wrote a script to delete the currently playing XMMS song.) Like you, I need the 
keystrokes to work together in coherent patterns. But I am not a compulsive 
configurer, either...
