[dev] [st] [bug] not starting until window get focus

The problem is in this loop (file x.c, lines 1924:1938):

/* Waiting for window mapping */
do {
...
} while (ev.type != MapNotify);

To reproduce we need wm that allows assigning windows to workspace based
on criteria. In i3wm it is done with:

assign [title="^arad$"] 9

Then we can print current timestamp and immediately run terminal that
should also print timestamp. If we wait a few seconds and switch to
workspace that was assigned for this window, we will see timestamps
differ. Command:

date +%s && st -t arad -e bash -c 'date +%s; read'

P.S. other terminals, as kitty and alacritty, works as expected, command
executes immediately regardless of window being focused

I've tried little hack and it worked for me, not hugely tested though.
