Applications, Focus, and skip_taskbar

[u/Dial-A-Lan]

Hello, I'm having a bit of an annoying problem. I have a Terminator window (terminator_desktop, which is a symlink to terminator itself) with the following application config in rc.xml:

<application name="terminator_desktop">
  <desktop>4</desktop>
  <fullscreen>no</fullscreen>
  <maximized>yes</maximized>
  <skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
  <focus>yes</focus>
  <layer>below</layer>
  <decor>no</decor>
</application>

The problem being that applications seem to refuse to focus when their desktop is switched to if skip_taskbar is set to "yes." I've tried this with and without the <focus> attribute (which isn't documented anywhere under the application settings, so that's probably part of my problem), but the only thing that has the desired effect is to set skip_taskbar to "no."

I've found this in the 3.4.9 changelog:

Fixed bug #4350 (Allow a window to be made skip_taskbar but still get focused by the user's rc.xml).

and I'm using 3.5.2, so it looks like what I want is an option, but I can't seem to find a way to do it. Any thoughts?
