I just installed ubuntu 11.10 on a laptop of mine. Where do you turn on window autofocus on mouse hovering in this new version?

I used to be able to do it very easily in 11.04.

UPDATE: I'm looking for "Select windows when the mouse moves over them"

Had the same issue, unsure if there's an easy way like in Natty or Maverick. However, you can get to the 'Click to Focus' option if you install CompizConfig Settings Manager:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

It is in the General area, General Options section, Focus & Raise Behavior tab. Kudos go to this page.
