So, I started sending a lot of commands to dvtm via the command fifo and
I noticed an odd thing.
Every window exposes a variable called $DVTM_WINDOW_ID, so one can
imagine that if you want to focus on a window you should just pass the
command 'focusn 1' where 1 would be the id of that window.
What happens is something different than this and somewhat confusing.
Maybe there's a reason for it being that way, I don't know if this is a
design decision or a bug.
In any case: I attached a patch that changes the focus command to
use the window id, so that the focus command is invariant in respect to
layout changes and scripts have a better api to interact with.
