[PATCH] Prevent rearrangement due to _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW

From: Eric Pruitt <eric.pruitt_AT_gmail.com>

- Changed dwm's behaviour so _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW calls "focus" on a
  window without popping it to prevent unwanted re-ordering.

+Description: Some poorly behaved applications (Steam, Chromium) unnecessarily
+produce a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW when focused or clicked causing dwm to pop the
+window and re-order it in the window list. This patch changes dwm's behaviour
+so _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW calls "focus" on a window without popping it to prevent
+unwanted re-ordering.
