I misspoke, and left out an important detail:
If the windows do *not* overlap, then there appears to be no problem.
If the XTerm window is behind the XEmacs window while I'm editing,
then I move the mouse pointer back into the Xterm, neither window has
focus. I can move the mouse pointer back into the XEmacs window to
get focus there, but I can never get focus back to the Xterm.
Furthermore, the particular Windows setting I'm using for mouse
activation is in the "Ease of Access Center", under "Make the mouse
easier to use". I have "Activate a window by hovering over it with
the mouse" checked. In addition, I'm using a Windows registry hack to
simply give the window focus without making it active, i.e. moving it
to the top:
