Thank you Andrew,
I found what I was looking for and it would not let me edit the
auto_raise_delay,, says it will change in a later release.
Did Mike Manchester have any better luck than I did in changing the
focus delay in his windows?

Sorry, I didn't completely answer your question. gconf-editor is the
tool used to edit the gnome configuration database. It's very similar to
the windows registry and regedit.
