Unfortunately, unlike the original patch, as it turns out this does not
actually work right. Both sawfish and the menu bar get very confused
when switching windows via the keyboard. Clicking them, all fine.
Selecting them on the panel, also fine. But Alt-Tab, and things break.
Most noticeably, the menu bar does not get updated, but at least one
other problem is that the panel does not update to reflect the selected
window. It looks like _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW is not only not getting set in
some cases where it would be with an unpatched sawfish, but also in some
cases where it would be with my original patch. I will try to figure out
what is happening, but any pointers would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Harald
