This was an issue some time ago.  See, default Unix window manager
behavior usually dictates that a click in the window itself does *not*
raise the window.  However, this was the default behavior in Gnome for
quite some time, until numerous people started complaining and filed a
bug report to get the action changed to the way it should be.

To get the action of clicking in a window to raise it, one should use
click-to-focus, not focus-follows-mouse.  Focus-follows-mouse mode now
only raises the window when clicking the border.
