Binary package hint: compiz

XMapRaised (also in xlib library) does not work either

workaround disable desktop effects...

XMapRaised and XRaiseWindow work as expected

This is due to compiz focus stealing prevention with it off
XMapRaised & XRaiseWindow work as normal

sending _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to the root window with a request to change the
active window to the window in question will also work

I'm not sure where you see the bug. Yes, XRaiseWindow is covered by focus s=
tealing prevention. If there is newer activity in the focussed window, rais=
ing the requested window will be denied and the demands_attention hint will=
 be set on the window.
So far that's works-as-intended.

What exactly do you expect to happen?

I expected XRaiseWindow to work as it does when compiz is disabled even
with focus stealing enabled

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if
you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test
it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running
apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this
particular issue.

this happened so long ago, we found it easier not to specifically
support Ubuntu

I don't have compiz installed nor unity probably better to close this
bug report...
