     Neat http://j.mp/tamefox does appear to actually work, wonder what situations sleep-follows-nonfocus really helps?

     What is "sleep"? Is that a standard #POSIX thing? I can't read #python, so I am not sure what is happening there.

     @mlinksva In my case most apps are running on their own desktops, so many would have ample chance to sleep for long periods.
