In the previous incarnation of gnome/X11 (sarge), when I click on the
main window of an application, an associated window would be placed on

thing, a tile on the bottom toolbar flashes to let me know I should
click it. The example that comes to mind is molden. If I click on the
graphics window, I have to search the bottome toolbar to find which tile
is flashing. I have to say that this is really dumb. It now takes
significantly more time to raise a window. Is there a switch/file I can
change to get the old, efficient, behavior back?

In your window manager preferences there should be some tick boxes
saying "Automatically give focus to newly created windows" and/or
"Automatically raise windows when they receive focus". They should do
the trick.
