How do you find out that Sawfish ignores that?

Do you have one window-manager setting where you can get Emacs

(1) do a `display-buffer' making a new frame without that frame getting
raised and/or input focus, and

(2) give input focus to/raise a frame that hasn't input focus/is not
raised.

entirely using _NET_WM_USER_TIME?  I faintly recall a discussion about a
misinterpretation of timestamps sent to the window-manager (Metacity?)
by Emacs.
