Wait, are you ever making workspace 3 current in this, or just moving with
mod-shift-3? Layouts don't (and can't) react to the latter; the layout can
only stop and start processes when you switch to or away from a workspace.
The shift operation only manipulates the StackSet without informing the
layout.

(In theory a layout could be notified, but it'd require more layout methods
and those methods would have to guarantee they don't try to draw anything
or manipulate the screen / windows directly because the workspace might not
be current.)
