After a lot of grief with programs that either eat or ignore the click
that focuses the window, and thus may or may not change the selection
and insert point, I try to click on the window frame or use Alt-Tab or
Win-Tab. This usually does not change the selection and caret
locations in either window, so the windows behave more predicably,
regardless of what they do with the first click.
