I added <finalactions> to the window switching code, and it noticeably 
speeds up switching between windows (?!) and now this seems to only 
occur with urxvt. Other applications on desktop 1 don't prevent 
automatically switching to another desktop when they receive focus, but 
urxvt seems to block the desktop switching somehow.
