[Mono-winforms-list] Find out if the application window is focused/active

[Stifu]

Never mind, I found something that works!
I use this instead:

if (Form.ActiveForm != null)

MSDN says: "A Form that represents the currently active form, or a null
reference if there is no active form."

So that seems good to me.
