Workaround for an issue where IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1 context menus are treated as new windows that get managed by bspwm

First, I installed xtitle

Then, I created a new external_rules file (seen above)

Then, I made it executable:
sudo chmod +x external_rules

Then, I added the following to my bspwmrc file:
bspc config external_rules_command "/home/cody/.config/bspwm/external_rules"
