Uh, I'm on 3.6 and the default wmiirc comes with a trailing tagrule of
"/.*/ -> sel", followed by "/.*/ -> 1", which I'm guessing means that
everything not matched previously gets sent to the selected view, but
if there is no selected view (sel = nil) that second last rule won't
apply, so instead it'll send the window to tag '1'. My wmii's
behaviour is what you're looking for, so maybe the problem is just
that you had
