While I do like GNOME's simplicity, I must admit that there are times when trying to do a very simple thing is quite convoluted because the default preferences don't allow it. Yesterday, I was trying to configure focus follows mouse in GNOME and, as it turned out, the only way to do it is by installing the GNOME Tweaks app. Well, at least the easiest. There is also a way to accomplish the same by running the following command:

	$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode 'sloppy'
	

Truly, it's no big deal. Installing GNOME Tweaks is just fine, and it also helps with finetuning other options. {link to this entry}
