X.H.EwmhDesktops: add a way to selectively ignore _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW

[liskin]

This comes handy if e.g. the focus stealing behaviour of some browsers
is undesirable.

[geekosaur]

Enough people are annoyed by the focus stealing behavior that I have
wondered if it's worth taking the alternative sanctioned by EWMH as our
default: mark the window to be focused as urgent (see
XMonad.Hooks.UrgencyHook) instead of focusing it.

Maybe. I'm not the right person to ask that, anyway, as I rarely use the defaults, anywhere really.

Anyway, I wanted to warn people that chrome/chromium 55 is broken and will crash when its _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW requests aren't honored immediately. I'm getting bitten by that several times a day (as I'm unfortunately unable to change my habits quickly). Here's the report: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=670959

Is anyone still working on this? If not, I'll merge this code with #93 and re-submit...

[liskin]

I sort of intended to look at the design suggested by @geekosaur in #109, but I don't think I'll get to it any time soon. Feel free to use my code in any way you like. :-)

[pjones]

@SirBoonami take a look at #128

[SOwOphie]

Didn't really have the time to look into it the last few months, but it certainly seems to be a better thought out solution than my clueless fumblings. I'll close my PR in shame and go help this guy out instead =)

[pjones]

Closing as a duplicate since this can be done via #128 now.

[geekosaur]

Uh, not quite. There is still no way to turn off the EWMH focus grabbing behavior --- and a window requesting focus does not go through the ManageHook.

@geekosaur In that case, are you in favor of merging this PR? If so I'll bug @liskin about a CHANGES.md entry and then merge it.

[geekosaur]

As a stopgap, yes. Ideally I'd like something more flexible but it seems like nobody's in a position to write it.

[pjones]

@liskin Please add a CHANGES.md entry and I'll merge.

[liskin]

First, sorry for not responding, I was somewhat busy at the time and never got to it later. :-(

From reading the code in #128 it seems to me that it does what this one does, and much more. I expect to try it myself soon, but I don't mind if this one is closed sooner if anyone else shares my feeling that it's completely obsoleted by #128.

[liskin]

Oh, it's been reverted. :-/
