Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/618

Describe the bug
When opening two windows of the same application, the application stays in a focused state when one of the windows is closed

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open kitty/thunar/etc. on workspace 1
Open a new kitty/thunar/etc. window and put it on workspace 2
Close one of the two windows
Focused state persists when workspace is empty

Expected behavior
Should not show up as focused when window is closed

System information:

Distro: NixOS 24.05 at github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs@805a384895
Compositor: Hyprland v0.40.0
Ironbar version: Latest commit from yesterday at github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar@6edfe94000

Additional context
Also possible to reproduce with a single workspace and 2 different applications open, which results in both of them having the focused state

Should be resolved, cheers for reporting. I believe this came about because Hyprland 0.40 has altered how it sends events for closing windows and I was not correctly handling said events.
