Gvim window activated by mutt doesn't gain focus

Hi,
I use gvim to edit mutt mails by setting editor="gvim --remote-wait", so that
a new buffer is created in currently running gvim when I ask to compose a mail
in mutt. It works alright but the gvim window doesn't gain focus. It comes to
the foreground but the focus remains with the mutt window. The window manager
settings have an option to give focus to newly created windows, which is not
this case, since no window is created, and another to raise a window when it
receives focus, which is precisely the inverse of what I need: to gain focus
when it's raised. I vaguely remember that this worked as I intended with KDE,
because I don't recall being bothered by the lack of focus nor to have tweaked
any window manager settings, so it seems to be a feasible window manager
feature.
Could anybody give me a hint on how to configure xfce's window manager to
accomplish this ?
Thanks
Paulo
