Logitech's mouseware has an option to send the mouse pointer to new
dalog boxes when they pop up.  A few video drivers have options to send
dialogs to the location of the mouse.  I find both VERY annoying, since
I might be about to click on something, and really would not want to
answer a pop up dialog incorrectly.  I do tend to answer most dialogs
with the keyboard of course, since it's the fastest, most accurate way
to do it, and involves no mouse movement.  Programmers who don't use
standard keyboard shortcuts, or make keyboard navigation difficult,
should be forced to, ehm, use their own programs, without a mouse.
