Does (or can) your patch prevent the focus order from changing on the
screen that is switched to?  One of the great things about having the
cursor move to the top-left is that (I think, for most people) there's
a wibox up there, so the mouse doesn't get placed into any window and
the focus goes back to the last active window on the screen.

At least, a quick test of moving the mouse to the center of the screen
changes the focus for me.  I see the benefit of having the cursor go
to the center though :).

Bryan
