Focus

[Peter Flynn]

Does anyone know if there is a setting in any of the window management 
implementations that will force focus to the only window open in a 
desktop when there is only one window open in it.

I typically have four desktops, and slide between them because I have 
them set up for different tasks usually involving groups of 
applications, but often, one of them will have only a single application 
in it. None of them are full-screen, and I use focus-follows-mouse.

It seems perverse that when I flick to such a desktop, the cursor 
remains in the position it was in the previous desktop. I can see the 
logic of that when the system cannot guess which of multiple 
applications you are going to use next, but in the case where there is 
only one there, it would be nice for the focus to move to that application.
