Some people like their mouse pointer to move when changing focus with
the keyboard, other people like their pointer to stay and focus to
follow. xmonad(-contrib) supports both preferences, but imperfectly:
The former requires using the XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer contrib
module, the latter (focusFollowsMouse) only reacts to CrossingEvent; the
focus isn't updated after changing workspaces or layouts.
This adds an inverse of XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer.updatePointer that
immediately updates the focus instead.

This is a convenience module in order to have less import noise. It
re-exports the following:
a) Commonly used modules in full (Data.Foldable, Data.Applicative, and
so on); though only those that play nicely with each other, so that
XMonad.Prelude can be imported unqualified without any problems.
This prevents things like `Prelude.(.)` and `Control.Category.(.)`
fighting with each other.
b) Helper functions that don't necessarily fit in any other module;
e.g., the often used abbreviation `fi = fromIntegral`.
This patch adds functionality to update the focus on moves in unfocused windows, which would make sense if one wanted the focus to follow the mouse.
Currently this only happens when the mouse enters/leaves a window.
This patch should fix issue #205.
