[xmonad] normal (rather than greedy) view: disable screen-focus switching?

[wagnerdm at seas.upenn.edu]

It should look like this instead:

isVisible w ws = any ((w ==) . tag . workspace) (visible ws)
lazyView  w ws = if isVisible w ws then ws else view w ws

main = xmonad $ ewmh gnomeConfig {
         manageHook = manageHook gnomeConfig <+> composeAll myManageHook,
         workspaces = myWorkspaces,
         modMask = mod4Mask, -- makes all xmonad shortcuts be "Windows  
key + X" (thus not interfering with any app's)
         borderWidth        = 3,
         normalBorderColor  = "#cccccc",
         focusedBorderColor = "#cd8b00",
         layoutHook = showWName myLayout
         }
         `additionalKeysP` myKeys

Good luck,
