Well, I haven't been able to solve it myself I'm afraid, so here I am asking for help again 
I think XMouse is invaluable, with focus follows pointer being my only way of working quickly with multiple windows. However, certain 'non-standard' apps really don't live well with this, and Notes is a great example. It seems that whenever Notes senses it has got focus, it automatically raises itself to the top of the stack, obscuring any other windows I might have been working with.
I haven't found a setting in AWM yet, but I'm wondering whether it could prevent windows altering their stack position unless, for example, the title bar is clicked on...
Here's hoping!

Ah yes - I'm so used to looking for the check box at the bottom when creating a post, I hadn't noticed the links at the top!
Thanks,
Dave.

Just upgraded to AWM 6.2b2, and the 'Ignore Deactivation' seems to help with the Notes bringing itself to the top of the window stack - at least so far in my limited testing. But I can't find a way of applying that as a rule, or even sending CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+I as a keyboard macro when Notes starts - I have to do it by hand. Could I make a plea to have this setting as a startup rule in the next version?
Thanks,
David.

Hmmm. Spoke too soon. Using 'Ignore Deactivation' does cause other problems within Notes itself. For example, when you double-click on an attachment in an email in Notes, it pops up a dialogue box with some options (such as Save, View, Open, etc.). But with Notes ignoring deactivation, the dialogue box never gets the focus - the most serious consequence of which is that there's no way to close the dialogue box. So you end up moving it around trying to find a bit of screen where it won't get in the way.
A quick press of the Ignore Deactivation hotkey gets things sorted again, but its obviously not a permanent solution to the Notes focus issue. A fairly good workaround though if I can remember not to double click on any more attachments!
Cheers,
Dave.
