This has an unpleasant side-effect though, I'm usually having firefox
(duh, should be using emacs-w3m more but it sucks in its own ways)
fullscreen and when I copy a link from it or just select some text,
and switch to a different workspace, the pasting from X selection
doesn't happen until I switch back to unfreeze the
shit-browser. That's less annoying than wasting cpu cycles but as a
known limitation should better be documented.
