Comment:
Assigning to the one who might actually know what [https://dev.haiku-
os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/servers/app/Desktop.cpp?rev=39653#L3349
Desktop::_SetWorkspace()] is supposed to do. For some reason it is always
moving `fMouseEventWindow` to the target workspace (if there is one). At
least the calls from the `AS_ACTIVATE_WORKSPACE` message handlers expect
the `moveFocusWindow` parameter to indicate that, if `false`, no window is
moved, and otherwise (supposedly) the keyboard focus window.
That aside, the protocol for the `AS_ACTIVATE_WORKSPACE` message is
insufficient anyway, since by the time the message is handled in the app
server it is no longer clear which window was requesting the operation --
using the focus window is working only in most cases.
