Oh, well. They certainly are possible.

If you want it, change SystemWindow>>mouseDown: along the lines of
SystemWindow>>mouseDown: evt
 TopWindow == self ifFalse:
  [evt hand releaseKeyboardFocus.
  self activate.
  self processEvent: evt copy resetHandlerFields].
(the last line has been added) And just for the records - I think this
really stinks ;)

Don't like this either, but the following will do what you want:
SystemWindow>>mouseEnter: evt
 self activate.
