i don't know if this counts/clarifies the point, but i found that if 
raise a child of mozilla using click to focus, like the downloads 
window, then it raises (but doesn't focus) the main mozilla also, rox 
and nautilus also have kooky focus issues, but i think they are well 
known, it's probably all part of the same grouping thing so i shan't go on.
