Very nice, I've looked over the documentation several times without noticing there was a ipc interface.
I'l definitely check out that out. Do you think it would be worth it to add a IPC event for a denied focus request? I can have a go at making a pull request for it if you'd be interested, but it might be a bit of a corner case..
