closed windows are sometimes not detected #85

I can replicate this by:

opening chrome
opening iterm2 (iterm2 now has focus)
closing my iterm session with ^d (iterm2 window closes)

After doing this, I expect chrome to have focus, but it does not. Doing one clockwise switch gives chrome focus, making it seem that Amethyst thought iterm2 was still supposed to have it. Doing another switch keeps focus on chrome.

This is actually an OS X behavior, not an Amethyst one. We could theoretically ensure that there's always a focused window. I am having trouble coming up with any reasons that would be bad, but it might be worth further discussion.

Gotcha. I'm new to os x, so this is news to me =)

I'd definitely support always having a focused window -- that's what I've come to expect from xmonad.

Can we tell the difference between Finder-w/o-windows ("unfocused") and Finder-windows? If so, then I see no reason to ever give focus to Finder w/o windows. Or rather, I'm sure there are reasons but I imagine they don't apply to a twm-workflow...
