--- Comment #1 from Thomas Lübking <thomas.luebking@gmail.com> ---
tech note:
The tabbox uses Workspace::activateClient() which is invoked from several
places (eg. in reaction to taskbar calls) and ("of course") unconditionally
raises the newly active window.

CDE walking has a branch that selects w/o raising but that is dead because CDE
walking is only invoked for unreasonable focus policies and the not raising
branch requires a reasonable focus policy.

behaviour annotation:
for a clicked window it's definitively not necessary to raise it (as it is in
sight for sure), for a window activated from the taskbar or the tabbox this
cannot be guaranteed.
Implementing this wish will lead to either invisible focused windows or
somewhat inconsistent behavior (window not being raised as by config request -
unless otherwise not visible)
