What happens if you evaluate this expression:

     (lower-frame (make-frame))

For me it creates a new frame, lowers it and returns to the original

You need to configure your window manager to do that.  This option
doesn't change the focus behaviour as such -- it only tells Emacs how
your window manager works.  I'm not really sure how Emacs uses this
information.
