Hi,

a month ago i started using dwm.
In my rules i send firefox clients to tag 2.
Now, after starting dwm i am on tag 1 and after i started firefox via
dmenu, i automatically get switched to tag 2.
Right after starting dwm this is not that much of a problem, but when i
have some work in progress and use both views (via mod+tab) and then
start another application, which is not in the current tagset, i loose
one of my views to the tags of the started application.
Is there a particular reason for this behaviour?

I found it kind of annoying and so i patched it to just pull in the tags
from the started application without switching view.
It is pretty simple and also removes one line of code. Yay!
