I'm trying to figure out what mousebind is focusing the desktop if I left-click it. I don't want my active window to lose focus if I click the desktop but I'd still like to be able to right-click and middle-click it.

Left click does nothing for me at all. Centre and right work though.

I'm not using #!'s rc.xml., I should have mentioned that. In that file, under <Context name="Desktop">, I removed...
<mousebind button="Left" action="Press">
<action name="Focus"/>
<action name="Raise"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="Right" action="Press">
<action name="Focus"/>
<action name="Raise"/>
</mousebind>
Seems to be working as I wanted. Thanks for the response, Sector11, and thanks for the compliment in the other thread on my setup!

Use obconf and see if there are settings for focus policy - setting the focus policy you want should make the changes for you - catch any you may have missed doing a manual edit.

I checked there, all good. Thanks PackRat!
-edit- In BunsenLabs, it's the similar. delete...
<mousebind button="Left" action="Press">
<action name="Focus"/>
<action name="Raise"/>
</mousebind>
Is there a good reason to keep that keybind?
