Ah.  That sounds like what brl and I were talking about recently
(thread subject == [RP] New client code).  Apparently the code is in
events.c, if that helps.

This seems to have been removed sometime in the past, because the
behavior was more annoying and confusing than it was helpful (or so
I'm told).

If that's all you want, this should make it do what you want:

        :frestore <whatever it was>
        :focus
        :other

HTH,
