Guillaume pointed me towards
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10196

I am interested in working on the ticket if we agree on what should
happen.

I think it is understandable that lyxclient does not by default raise
the LyX window. But I think it should be easy to configure it to do so
when desired:

- Should this be done with a new option to lyxclient?
- Should it be the default for lyxclient -g?
- Should we implement an LFUN and thus can call with lyxclient -c?
