bug#23174: Windows : Emacs frame stays on top after Alt-Tab

[devi8]

GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2015-04-11 on LEG570

On Windows (7 Professional), after (?) switching from a Aero Desktop Theme back 
to a non-Aero Desktop Theme,
pressing Alt-Tab will switch application windows, but the Emacs Window 
("Frame"?) will stay on the foreground, which is wrong behaviour.
Only after exiting and restarting Emacs is the correct behaviour restored 
again, and Alt-Tab works as expected.

I saw some discussions on the use of SetForegroundWindow and some bug reports 
that might relate to this.

In general I despise applications that use SetForegroundWindow, because almost 
all of them fail to do what the user wants, because of lack of knowledge of 
other active applications and the user's intentions.
This bug report is also an example of such behaviour.

Why not totally remove the use of SetForegroundWindow (except maybe for 
sys_kill and some places that try to fix "bugs"), or at least make it 
customizable so that I can disable it?
