Dave Cohrs asks:

> The thing is, who should do an autoraise?

The current wisdom says that you should follow the 
Interclient Communication Conventions (IC3). If you just try to do it
yourself inside xterm, your friendly window manager (which
follows the IC3) will quite likely block the request,  resulting
in something other than what you probably wanted.

You can find the proposed IC3 document in the R2 distribution.
(And you can thank David Rosenthal for authoring it).
