Issue 56: Focus is not given to correct window when switching virtual desktops
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=56

Comment #1 by SpencerJanssen:
This is by design.  We remember the current focus of each workspace -- 
the idea is
that the user will want to continue working in the same window when 
returning to a
workspace.

In common window manager jargon, xmonad uses "sloppy focus" rather than strict "focus
follows mouse".  Focus is only changed when:

 - the user presses one of the navigation keys like mod-j
  - the user crosses the boundaries of a visible window from outside to 
inside with
the mouse pointer
 - the user clicks the mouse button over an unfocused window
