New issue 399 by adam.vany: Bringing focus to a floating window when in  
monocle layout can cause the main window to switch
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=399

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open 1 window (we will call F) and Mod+Mouse1 to make floating
2. Open 1 more windows (called A)
3. Keep focus on window A and open another window (called B)
4. Mod+Space until in monocle layout.  Window B should be visible with  
window F floating on top
5. Move the mouse onto window F to give it focus

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Giving focus to a floating window doesn't change the order/layout  
of non-floating windows.  Window B should remain visible when window F  
receive focus

Actual: Window B is replace with Window A.

If you use Mod+j or Mod+k to bring window B back again, as soon as you move  
the mouse on to window F, Window B is replace with window A again

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xmonad 0.7 on debian lenny
