  Sorry I didn't express myself correctly. If we have the window id the host should update the xTime on the window whenever the associated item is clicked. Then the window can raise/activate itself as it has an up to date xTime.
  
  This is for example done in kglobalaccell: the timestamp of the shortcut is sent to the application through dbus. The application updates the xTime and activates the window. The window manager is happy, the xTime allows it.
