I use the olvwm window manager for this very reason. It moves focus only
on a mouse click. In addition to the raise to the top that you request,
you can also change the focus to that window without raising it to the
top. Clicking on the title bar brings the window to the top, but you can
focus on the text portion of the window without bringing it to the top.
This is very useful if you want to enter data in a window but you don't
want it to cover the window you are copying from. 

So, try out olvwm and see if it doesn't do just what you want.

Luck,

Dwarf
