Hello, it is meant to make (select-frame-set-input-focus) "work" on
wayland for the time being.  It is not a correct fix.  (x-focus-frame
$a t) will raise the frame when it should not be raised.

The problem I believe is that the gdk/gtk apis to raise/lower windows
just doesn't work on wayland. Implementing frame_raise_lower_hook with, say
      gdk_window_raise (gtk_widget_get_window (GTK_WIDGET 
(FRAME_GTK_OUTER_WIDGET (f))));
has no effect.

I linked to two urls pointing to the bug reports on frame stacking
order. (Maybe I'm misunderstanding but there are at least a dozen
more reports)

it is a wrong fix, but on the other hand select-frame-set-input-focus
seems to be crucial (for me) for using more than 2 frames

I'll check shortly, Thanks,
