ii  xfwm4          4.2.3.2-2      window manager of the Xfce project

<option name="Xfwm/FocusNewWindow" type="int" value="1"/>
<option name="Xfwm/FocusRaise" type="int" value="1"/>
<option name="Xfwm/RaiseDelay" type="int" value="250"/>
<option name="Xfwm/RaiseOnClick" type="int" value="1"/>

FocusRaise raises a window that got focus. The problem I observed is exactly 
the opposite: to give focus to a window that got raised. FocusNewWindow 
doesn't apply because a new window is not being created in this scenario.

I thought that there were promising (in ~/.config/xfce4/xfwm4/xfwm4rc):

focus_hint=true
prevent_focus_stealing=false

but didn't have any effect on the problem.

Thanks for answering
Paulo
