[xmonad] keeping focus on window after shifting to new screen

[wagnerdm at seas.upenn.edu]

In my config, I have defined

viewShift i = view i . shift i

and bound my "move window" key to use viewShift instead of view. If  
you are importing StackSet qualified as W (as it seems you are below),  
both view and shift will need to be qualified in the definition of  
viewShift, of course.
