You should have, more or less, this in your /etc/X11

That's good.  BTW, when you try to run SaX2, be sure you don't have xorg.conf 
or XF86Config in the root directory, nor in the current directory(unless that 
is /etc/X11.  Basically that is the only place for xorg.conf and XF86Config. 
Im not talking about the program xf86config, I'm talking about the 
configuration file XF86Config.

I'm not sure it's a "bug".  It may depend on the app.  I don't have that 
problem with most apps.  Really the only time a window doesn't come to the 
front is when I select it programmatically after it's opened.  For example, 
in Mathematica, if I hit F1 for help and the HelpBrowser is already opened, 
it doesn't come to the top.  What app is causing problems?

It's hard to know exactly what you are experiencing.  Can you provide more 
specifics about what's opened, and what you are trying to open?
