Other people have raised this over the last few years as well.
The issue is that I would like to raise windows from within a program
(Emacs to be precise), but it doesn't work with the native window
manager running in multiwindow mode.
Emacs has several nice commands for which I have not-so-nice work
arounds (opening and closing windows). These are:
(raise-frame f)
(iconify-frame f)
(decionify-frame f)
(make-frame-visible f)
None of these work with Cygwin X.
Please give a detailed recipe for reproducing the problem. I just tried
the following:
1. Start the X server by running startxwin in a Cygwin Terminal (mintty).
2. Use the xdg menu icon to start xterm.
3. In xterm, run 'emacs&'.
4. In emacs, run 'M-x iconify-frame'.
The current frame did indeed get iconified, as expected. I'm not sure
how to test the other commands.

P.S. The cygwin-xfree mailing list is obsolete. You should use the main
cygwin mailing list in the future to make sure your mail is seen by the
maximum number of people.
