I'm using gnome with compiz under ubuntu 10.04. I was surprised to learn
that Emacs could order the WM around in this fashion but it seems to
work perfectly. I haven't tried metacity as my compiz settings tend to
get screwed up when I switch compiz off and on again. As per the
subsequent discussion in the thread, I am now using the simplified
version
emacsclient -n --eval '(select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame))'
