It's a point of pedantry, I suppose, but X is not broken with regard
to raising windows and assigning focus, only all of the popular window
managers and clients are. I wrote a rather long email to this list
about it, but decided not to send it because I gauged the interest too
low for the length of it. If anyone wants it, just email me directly
or wait until I've finished the code to demonstrate.
