This is normal, in the version you have tested I've made the choice to
only raise the window and not focus it since this is the expected
behaviour with xvkbd.
There is a need for something more sofisticated. So please, try the last
commit where you can specifiy if you want to raise, focus or do nothing
on a never managed window.

The wanted window is at the end of the (xlib:query-tree *root*). It's
fixed in the last commit.

I have some problems with the terminal window (xterm or urxvt). There is
some work to be done to fix this.

Hum, this works for me. Are you using the xterm (now urxvt with the last
commit)?

I've some crash on reload. I'll look at this.

This means it's the new-clx. There has been some bugs fixed in the last
clisp/new-clx (2.49). Maybe you can try with a newer version or with
portable clx.

Please, try the last commit.
