I forgot to say that the "Focused" condition is introduced in 2.5.0.

You may try to replace it with "Raised" and see whether it's ok for you.

In 2.4.x it is possible to catch the name of the focused window using
SetEnv and then match against it, but I don't really suggest this, since
this only works well if all window names are unique.

If you want the exact behaviour, I suggest you to upgrade to the latest
daily snapshot (pre-2.5.1).

Mikhael.
