As far as I understood, the OP wants that the X window that had focus before emacsclient was called gets focus back, and not any Emacs frame. I.e., Emacs would "give up" its focus for the benefit of the last focused X window. Without killing Emacs, of course. I don't think that this is possible, but I agree that it could be a desirable behavior. Regards, Michael.
