Run config-editor Search got the term focus_mode.
Click on it and set its vlue to sloppy. The focus will follow mouse,
I am fairly sure that is how I did it.

I installed the gnome-tweak-tool package.* I ran Application->System Tools->System Settings but there was no Advanced Settings under the Personal section which is where I would expect to see it.* However, if I run gnome-tweak-tool by hand the Advance Settings app starts up (With lots of error messages) and I can set the correct (for me) setting for mouse behavior.* This package is not installed by default which seems wrong to me.

For this, install gnome-tweak-tool. This will create an "Advanced

Settings" application. When you start that, the Windows item will be

there.

Couldn't find the config-editor program.* I did fix the problem using the gnome-tweak-tool program.

I'm not sure where it is in fallback mode (which this sounds like), but
the name of the application that runs gnome-tweak-tool is Advanced
Settings, not System Settings. It's a separate app.

This gets back to the same old flame war about the Gnome 3 philosophy.
I'm not going there :-)

Sorry for top-posting.

You can also edit your startup programs with gnome-session-properties . It comes with Gnome 3.
