Yep, that's my opinion, too. So currently I'd go with some `TeX-raise-frame-function' which could either by `raise-frame', `x-focus-frame', or `TeX-x-focus-frame' where the latter would call `x-focus-frame' after a second (not sure what should be the default, though). But obviously I'd much prefer a solution that works across all WMs and operating systems.
