Maybe it sends signals to the window manager via X.
Which is what Jonathan was looking for -- a non-WM-specific way to bring a window to the front. Something that works with ALL window managers (or at least the nicely behaving ones) that isn't E-specific or KDE-specific or whatever. He doesn't care if the request goes through the window manager or not.
Yes, exactly, that's what I would like. What I'm actually doing is VTK programming (vtk.org), but through a scripting language. I figured out how to manually position and size the window via VTK commands, but this just moves the window around in its current layer without bringing it to the top. I tried positioning the window way off the screen where there would be no other windows, which it did, but when I ran the command to capture the image, X crashed. Oops, won't try that again!
