Re: raise-frame doesn't work in Fedora Core 4

[Richard Stallman]

    Now I realized I can use the program called `wmctrl'[1] to solve
    the problem.  Here's an new advice:

    (defadvice raise-frame (after make-it-work (&optional frame) activate)
      "Make it work."
      (call-process
       "wmctrl" nil nil nil "-i" "-R"
       (frame-parameter (or frame (selected-frame)) 'outer-window-id)))

That is an ugly solution.  How does the wmctrl program actually do
this?

      I have only the knowledge that Fedora Core 4
    uses the metacity window manager, sorry.

Does this use of wmctrl work correctly with other window managers?
