Yes, but the way you tell the window manager that you would like to
raise the window is via XRaiseWindow, right?

Now, notice if one were to access the covered window via the taskbar of
KDE for example it does come to the foreground.

So, my question is have the window managers decided to not honor the
standard XRaiseWindow request?
