Sorry, it doesn't seem to work.  I have not looked at the epoch code so I
don't really know what the problem is but there is one possibility:  If 
epoch is only looking for FocusIn events then this isn't enough.  epoch
should also be looking for EnterNotify events with the "focus" member set
to True.

I have another somewhat related question, how does epoch know to change the
input focus on a screen when the screen is raised via a window manager
function tied to a keystroke?
