OK, attached is a hack from my xmonad.hs

The idea is very dumb: I essentially intercept runLayout and memorize
last focused window w from passed Stack such that w ==
current->workspace->stack->focus ,i.e. if a window actually having
focus is the one focused in Stack. Then as soon as focused window is
floating I change Stack's focus (back) to w.

Seems to work for me: tabbed no longer switches tabs by itself when
there're floating windows around.
