Are you using metacity or compiz for your window manager? Metacity ignores raise requests in many versions. I noticed that raise finally works well in stock ubuntu 10.4 with gnome and compiz. Not sure about metacity though.

Using gnome on ubuntu, a shell command like

emacsclient /some/file

switches window focus to the running emacs and visits the file.

I'd like to do this without specifying a file to visit, so that I can
(in gnome) bind a command to a key that will cause my window manager to
simply jump to emacs and show the current buffer. How?
