CentOS 7.6 Xfce Can't get focus to follow mouse

Post by MikeBerger » 2019/01/03 00:00:42

On my newly installed Centos 7.6 with the Xfce desktop, I can't get the focus to follow the mouse, unless I click. Is there an option to click somewhere? Or perhaps something else to download?
Thanks for your help.
Mike.

Is this a VM or on a real machine?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I found it: Applications->Settings->Window Manager->Focus->Focus follows mouse
BTW, it is a real machine.
