I did this (with gmrun as well) with the following tiny shell glue and
wmctrl:

 lythari ~/bin % cat runandfocus.sh
 RUN=$1
 NAME=$2

 exec $RUN &
 sleep 0.7 && wmctrl -a $NAME

Usage: runandfocus.sh gmrun "Execute"

By far from perfect, of course.

I long since dropped gmrun and switched to dzens' dmenu, which I highly
recommend as a launcher:

 lythari ~/bin % cat mydmenu
 #!/bin/sh
 exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu` && exec $exe
