I run ipython3, plot something using matplotlib and the Tk backend (default
backend, I think), the plot displays. This is normal python. I type C-w
to close the plot window, it closes, but the window now displayed
(correctly) does not have the focus. Worse, i3 doesn't notice me either.

Clicking in the window I think should be active or moving the mouse to
trigger a crossing event focuses a window and all is back to normal.

This doesn't happen with other windows/programs.

I am using i3 4.8.
