Note that I can't get the visibility-notify to work (that's why I'd like
to get your sample code), but gtk_window_present() does properly raise
and focus the window in both xfwm4 4.2 and 4.4 here (see attached sample
code that raise the window on enter event, ie, move the pointer inside
the window and it gets raised).

I've also tried metacity 2.16 and 2.17.1 and both work similarily to xfwm4.

PS: You should move this thread to <xfce4-dev at xfce.org>

HTH
Olivier.
