I just wanted to mention that I have the same problem. Running CVS
Emacs as of 2007-01-1 under Mandriva GNU/Linux, using GNOME with its
Metacity window manager. What I do is this:
$ emacsclient -e "(my-function)"
and my-function is:
(defun my-function ()
(select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame)))
(well, of course it does more than that but...)
Up until today I haven't played with emacsclient under GNU/Linux. I
have just used gnuclient & friends under w32. I am currently coding a
small command/url/hatever launcher in Emacs, and the current behavior
is quite frustrating (when Emacs is not the topmost window).
I see this code in xterm.c:
XTframe_raise_lower (f, raise_flag)
FRAME_PTR f;
int raise_flag;
{
if (raise_flag)
{
/* The following code is needed for `raise-frame' to work on
some versions of metacity; see Window Manager
Specification/Extended Window Manager Hints at
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fwm_2dspec
However, on other versions (metacity 2.17.2-1.fc7), it
reportedly causes hangs when resizing frames. */
/* Lisp_Object frame;
const char *atom = "_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW"; */
x_raise_frame (f);
/* XSETFRAME (frame, f);
Fx_send_client_event (frame, make_number (0), frame,
make_unibyte_string (atom, strlen (atom)),
make_number (32),
Fcons (make_number (1),
Fcons (make_number (time (NULL) * 1000),
Qnil))); */
}
else
x_lower_frame (f);
}
Is is that piece of code that fails? My version of metaciy is 2.16.1.
