Not sure about the autofocus on new windows.  I am sure you can do it. 
Rox filer grabs focus when it comes up.  You can change to click to
focus by changing the action file.  In .waimea/actions there are various
files that control these sorts of things.  I just looked thru those and
some files online to figure it out.  
To tell the truth I found that kahakai is a better window manager but it
has trouble with xinerama and no one is working on that project anymore.

i am going to play around with my action files tonight and see ifi can
learn a few new tihngs.  these super configurable window managers can be
a bit of a pain to learn but once you learn them they are truely the
best.  you can make them do whatever you wish!
