let emacs server get the focus

let emacs server get the focus

[Zero Void]

Is it possible that when after I run emacsclient, emacs can automatically
popup to the front and get focus? I found it's really inconvenient when I
have emacs minimized and in the meanwhile running emacsclient. 

Thanks.

I use this:

  (add-hook 'server-visit-hook 
            '(lambda ()
               (setq server-window (make-frame))))


I tried the following as well for a bit (to delete the frame on exit),
but then decided against it. It doesn't work with --no-wait.

  (add-hook 'server-done-hook
            '(lambda ()
               (delete-frame server-window)
               (setq server-window nil)))

Thanks a lot Glenn. It's much better now.
