Re: Frames getting raised all the time

[Richard Stallman]

    I find it annoying how emacs insists on being the uppermost window on my
    desktop.

This is not normal Emacs behavior.  I think you are saying it depends
on your init file.  Please include the relevant parts of your init
file in a bug report.

The reason Emacs calls raise-frame when programmatically switching
frames is in case the frame it switches to is hidden by another Emacs
frame.  It has been doing this for some ten years, and you're the
first person to complain.  Perhaps we can find a consensus for
what Emacs should do in that situation.  But if not, you can
edit Emacs and turn raise-frame into a no-op.
