6 By default, dwm response to client requests to \_NET\_ACTIVE\_WINDOW client
7 messages by setting the urgency bit on the named window.
8
9 This patch activates the window instead.

11 Both behaviours are legitimate according to the
12 [cursed spec](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idm140200472702304)
13
14 One should decide which of these one should perform based on the message
15 senders' untestable claims that it represents the end-user. Setting the urgency
16 bit is the conservative decision. This patch implements the more trusting
17 alternative.
18
19 It also allows dwm to work with `wmctrl -a` and other external window
20 management utilities.
