stay in the background

it becomes very hard to work with multiple open 
windows, copying and pasting text from one window

Please see bug 86108, bug 115072, bug 115753 (which contains a patch to enable
such a feature), or any of a large number of other reports about this issue. 
The sort answer is that Havoc first wants patches that do a "best intermediate"
behavior for the majority of users (i.e. do not raise on drag and drop
operations, but raise on click otherwise) before considering such a feature.
