I agree, XRaiseWindow should do just that.
The rationale I've seen is the one I sent. It is actually from a draft of the
spec, newer versions don't have any rationale at all. It is a pity
freedesktop specifies all this new stuff without giving any clue whatsoever as
what it is for. On the other hand, it may just be another instance of
"metacity does strange things". It would not be the first time.
