10.6: Terminal and 'focus follows mouse' modification

It appears that a previous feature, namely the ability for Terminal's window focus to change with mouse movement, is broken in 10.6 and causes Command-Tab to not transfer window focus correctly. To fix the problem, just paste the following command in a Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -string NO
Then restart Terminal.
