If a window that is iconified attempts to "show itself" (eg, through invocation of "purple-send-async PurpleBlistSetVisible int32:1" to de-iconify Pidgin), this causes a NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message to be generated.

PekWM currently does a workspace change "if needed" before raising and giving input focus to the window. However, there is no need to switch the workspace if the window is in sticky state!

Fix: In function Frame::handleClientMessage (Frame.cc:~2101) add the isSticky() check:

            // If we aren't mapped we check if we make sure we're on the right
            // workspace and then map the window.
            if (! _mapped) {
                if (_workspace != Workspaces::instance()->getActive() && !isSticky()) {
                    Workspaces::instance()->setWorkspace(_workspace, false);
                }
                mapWindow();
            }
