Almost sure. I did all kinds of debug prints and added XMapRaised and XRaiseWindow calls
in arbitrary places in the code. The WM is metacity.

It works fine when XMapRaised is called on a hidden window.

Indeed. Metacity does an interesting thing - when I do bring_to_front
on the only window in the Prima app, its icon blinks on the taskbar, and
as soon I navigate the mouse outside the currently focused app, it brings
the Prima app up the stack. However, when I do that on a two-window Prima app,
the icon still blinks, but metacity doesn't bring forward the window.
But anyways. I've committed an extra bring_to_front in HelpViewer.pm, which even
though doesn't do much, still feels in line with the expected behavior.

Agree, it's kind of too much.
