I agree. A few months ago, I noticed this behavior as well. Awesome used to
remember which window was focused in each tag (or so it seemed), but there was a
bug in the config file that would cause gkrellm to steal focus. I fixed the bug,
then noticed that someone else fixed it upstream a little while later. Now, I
can't find any way in the config file to fix this behavior.
Please do submit this as a bug, and I'll accept any fix that's reasonable.
Docked apps should not get focus when switching tags.
Gkrellm keeps changing colors and font sizes every now and then due to stolen
keystrokes...
