how to raise compilation frame

how to raise compilation frame

[igah]

hi there,

when i run the "compile" command, a new frame pops up. when i run compile
again (from the main frame), the compilation frame doesn't get raised
automatically. i am using emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 2.24.4) under fluxbox. any help is greatly appreciated.

Under X and with some window managers, Emacs' `raise-frame' seems to
fail. If your WM supports EWMH[1], you might be able to fix it with
something like the following:

(defadvice raise-frame (around wmctrl activate)
  (if (eq (window-system (ad-get-arg 0)) 'x)
      (x-send-client-message nil 0 (ad-get-arg 0)
                             "_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW" 32 '(1))
    ad-do-it))

You might also want to `report-emacs-bug', as Emacs obviously doesn't do
as much as it should on its own.

thanks for your help. it works! i am running fluxbox 1.3.1. an earlier
version of fluxbox doesn't have the problem. 

again, thanks!
