Public bug reported:

Issue is described in http://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tickets/122/

When you switch panes in an even "tiled" split (say, 2x2, 2x3 or 3x3) a
MRU type algorithm is used to determine where your movement goes across
a split boundary.

This algorithm works fine if your splits are uneven, but with
even/aligned splits, it's a pain and unexpected.  This issues has been
fixed in upstream, and would be nice to include in vivid so this
behavior doesn't go out with the release:

Upstream fix:

http://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tmux-
code/ci/540f0b3e45acae9b0c5fa12f7e9170c6c78d177f/

I've ported the patch to apply cleanly on top of all the other patches
that are in the current ubuntu package, I'll attach it to this bug.

Simple use testing of the change shows it works as expected to me.  MRU
algorithim used when splits are not aligned, otherwise, override with
directional switching.

If there is a better format for the patch, or if I should modify a
source tree somewhere, please let me know.
