Thank you Robert and Calum for your input!

Your welcome.

Robert, your suggestion does modify the raise/focus behavior in
Metacity, but it does not achieve quite what I want. The raised window
still covers up any part of all windows that were in front of it.

The behaviour I suggested means that you don't have to raise the window,
thereby not covering up other windows, unless you click on it somewhere.
Of course, that means if you want to leave it unraised you would have to
use keyboard equivalents of mouse actions, not what you wanted I'm sure.
