Not claiming to be an Xpert, but IMHO the behaviour is a bit surprising. If
you follow ICCCAM it does not say a WM may intercept XRaiseWindow. But on the
other hand, it does not say a WM can't do that either.
The new spec on the other hand, do say a WM may choose to ignore
XRaiseRequests. It says that to really get it raised, one should use
_NET_RESTACK_WINDOW.
A side note, _NET_ACTIVATE_WINDOW does more that XRaiseWindow. If your window
is on another workspace/desktop, XRaiseWindow does nothing.
_NET_ACTIVATE_WINDOW on the other hand (at least with Gnome/Metacity),
switches to that desktop/workspace and then does what XRaiseWindow does.
In contrast to what wmctrl -R does, it moves the window to the current
desktop/workspace and then raises it.
Additionally, there are new states for windows besides
Normal/Withdrawn/Iconified. There are shaded windows (only the title bar is
shown) also. _NET_ACTIVATE_WINDOW works with these as well.
I think XRaiseWindow does not work with windows that are on
desktops/workspaces that aren't the current one, so I guess some WM:s choose
to ignore all XRaiseWindow requests just to avoid trouble.
