Do not switch workspace to follow new windows in others
New windows should only be focused if they are in the current workspace.
Not performing this check can lead to WM switching workspaces if a
window is opened which:
(a) is configured to appear in a particular workspace
and
(b) sends a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message to give focus to
something, e.g. a sub window.
This behaviour was observed with firefox if a session with more
than one tab open was restored at startup because:
"If a Client wants to activate another window, it MUST send a
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message to the root window:"
