Sometimes cannot switch focus using keyboard shortcuts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch terminal
2. Launch another program using Mod-S-p
3. Try to switch window focus using M-S-j

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Window should switch focus. Window does not switch focus. Need to use mouse to 
regain control of focus.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xmonad 0.10. Ubuntu Precise.

Are you using an xmonad.hs?  Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".

No output of xmonad --recompile. File is attached.

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem seems to happen intermittently and cannot always be reproduced.

Likely the same bug as https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=97. In 
particular, see comment 25 on that bug.

This bug is also reproducible using Greg's method:
* create two terminal windows
* continuously switch between them by holding M-S-j
* xmonad stops responding to keyboard input within about 30 seconds

His workaround also seems to work here: comment out your "logHook = 
dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP" section in xmonad.hs.

saw this bug get created -- must have just skipped it while reading my mail.
