Sorry for the late response.  I haven't been able to reproduce this bug
with metacity---closing an `emacsclient -t' client keeps the xterm
window in focus.  This problem may be a quirk of the window managers you
tried (xfce4 and icwwm-lite); I am not sure what Emacs can do
differently to try to mitigate this.
