[xmonad] Ignore single window for focus follows mouse?

[Joseph Garvin]

Thanks, below code works perfectly :)

-- Focus follows mouse is annoying for skype, when you mouse over
-- the video window it brings up the buddy list
followEventHook event = followOnlyIf (notSkype) event
  where notSkype =
          runQuery (fmap (not . ("Call with" `isInfixOf`)) (stringProperty
"WM_NAME")) (ev_window event)
