There are two possibilities: either +simply moving the mouse onto a window selects it (gives it focus), or +you have to click on it in a suitable way to do so. Unfortunately +there is no way Emacs can find out automatically which way the system +handles this, so you have to explicitly say, by setting the variable +@code{focus-follows-mouse}.
