The answer may depend on what desktop are you using, which you
don't
state.

poc

Gnome. Thanks. More info: If I click on the window in the window list,
the window gets focus, but does not come to the foreground. Only
clicking on the window brings it to the foreground.

This behavior can be changed through: System->Preferences->Look and
Feel->Windows
