oh, cool. hard part done ;)
but am i reading this right that this (and consequently current wm)
allows this behaviour unless applications are specifically (and
manually) forbidden to use it? (it must be, otherwise i wouldn't be
writing this :) if yes, how about turning the current state of things
to something along the lines of what i just proposed?
i can't believe letting one's im application force focus on itself
because $wife just messaged while one is writing one's plans to thy
mistress is something anyone would want (or expect, for that matter).
