Window remains in background in multiwindow mode

[Schaible, Udo, ADBM61]

Hi, 
I'm using Cygwin with the integrated Windows-based window manager as it
is started in startxwin.bat:
   run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

The problem is as follows:

- An application initially creates some windows. The newly created
windows occur in foreground one after the other. => OK

- If the application changes content in an already existing window, then
it doesn't come into foreground unfortunately. It remains in background
and so changes are not immediately visible on the screen. This problem
doesn't exist if using a native window manager. It always makes sure to
bring the respective window in foreground.

A similar problem occurs with windows intended to be always on top. E.g.
a text editors 'search window' that should be displayed always in
foreground while being able to see and edit text at the same time.

Regards,
Udo
