No its the same or at least I can't any difference.  My window manager is
metacity and it works/is configured for click-to-focus (not a lisp variable?)
However focus-follows-mouse is t, but I guess Emacs can't overrule the window
manager.

I guess generally that I would prefer the new frame not to take focus with
display-buffer (but perhaps not always).  Is that possible (perhaps as an
argument or user option)?
