No, it should happen in the exact same way as in apps. While some X11  
window managers offer focus-follows-mouse, I don't know of any  
application or toolkit on any platform that uses this policy for,  
say, the text fields in a window. This would be extremely awkward  
since you would have to keep your mouse pointer over a text field  
while you type.
