Ok, I see.  It just seems a bit weird to me.  The gdk docs say:

"The application can use this call to update the _NET_WM_USER_TIME
property on a toplevel window. This property stores an Xserver time
which represents the time of the last user input event received for this
window. This property may be used by the window manager to alter the
focus, stacking, and/or placement behavior of windows when they are
mapped depending on whether the new window was created by a user action
or is a 'pop-up' window activated by a timer or some other event."

- From that, at least the "represents the time of the last user input
event received for this window", I get the opposite impression.  How can
a window that's just being mapped have received any user input?  Or is
it that setting _NET_WM_USER_TIME on a newly-mapped window acts to
"fake" the WM into thinking there's interaction there (when there hasn't
been) and it should be focused?

Ugh.  So confused.
