Unable to bind a non-following SendToDesktop, but a following SendToDesktop works

I am building a (very extensive) custom keybinding set, and I have been
unable to map keybindings to the SendToDesktop correctly.  When I use

  <keybind key="W-C-2">
    <action
name="SendToDesktop"><desktop>1</desktop><follow>yes</follow></action>
  </keybind>

the selected window and workspace focus are both sent to Desktop 2, but

  <keybind key="W-C-2">
    <action
name="SendToDesktop"><desktop>1</desktop><follow>no</follow></action>
  </keybind>

does nothing.  I know the XML file isn't being rejected because other
bindings are working.

I tried the IRC channel, but no one was around, and nothing in the FAQ,
documentation, or google results seemed to address my problem.  I assume
the lack of info on the problem means the problem is mine.

If necessary, I can include my entire rc.xml file, but I doubt anyone
wants to read all that.


Thanks for your time,
Clay Barnes
