I don't know about you, but I don't try to change the tags for
stalonetray very often. :) My patch also has the benefit of working
with anything with all tags (ie I can MOD-shift-0 any window to get it
to stick and hide from tags, but adding a Rule flag needs a recompile).

(*at first* versus *always*) - This was a "feature" based on my use-case:
there isn't really a way to interact with the tray by keyboard, so it
only focuses with a mouse click. This makes cycling through the windows
a little bit simpler too.

I thought about this too, but it was more complicated, and has the
drawback that I can't move the tray around to see underneath it. (and
since I can't get the icons to scale down to fit the bar's height atm,
this is actually an issue sometimes...)
