Bug#318351: still present in skippy 0.5.1rc1-4

[Sven Arvidsson]

According to this, XRaiseWindow in Metacity should work, but focus
stealing prevention stops skippy from using it;

         It's called "focus stealing prevention", see e.g. 
        http://mail.gnome.org/archives/wm-spec-list/2003-May/msg00013.html . A short 
        description is that only the user (i.e. taskbar etc.) and the most recently 
        activated application are allowed to raise or focus windows, requests from 
        inactive applications are not honoured. As already said above, applications 
        are usually not supposed to do that anyway.
