It figures out the current desktop (i.e. if you have more than one
workspace/desktop) by inspecting the property _NET_WM_DESKTOP or
_WIN_WORKSPACE on the root window. It then switches the window to the current
desktop by sending a client message _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP. Finally it
activates the window by sending the client message _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW.
What part of this is really right to do, here?
Is it right to move the window to the current desktop?
It seems strange to me that raise-frame would do that.
Would it be hard to code this in C?

It works with window managers that understand and comply with the newest
freedesktop Window Manager Specification
(http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fwm_2dspec), i.e. Metacity (Gnome),
KWin (KDE), xfwm4 (xfce) and other newer window managers. There is a list on
the web page. Certainly not with older VM:s like twm and mwm.
What happens if you do this (via wmctrl or directly) and you're using
an older wm? Does it do any harm?
