(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

I tried this in Emacs 28.  I did a

(setq frame (window-frame))

in one frame and then

(make-frame-visible frame)

from a different frame, and Emacs didn't give the first frame focus.  So
I seem to be unable to reproduce this (under Debian/bullseye, under
Gnome Shell).

Are you still seeing this issue in recent Emacs versions?
