Perhaps this is not needed and I'm wrong, but let me ask a question.

Example:

- double click on an icon or on a browser cell.

- this tells an app to open a file.

- the window manager creates a window.

- now move some window to hide this window.

- double click again on the same icon.

- our window should be taken in front of the others.

Actually, this doesn't happen. 
How is this supposed to work?
