emacs -Q

Split window so window 1 shows *scratch* and window 2 shows *Messages*

Eval this in *scratch* and, before 5 seconds, switch the focus to some
other application's frame that obscures Emacs' frame:

(run-with-timer
 5 nil
 (lambda ()
   (quit-window nil (other-window-for-scrolling))))

When the timer executes, Emacs' frame will be raised and given focus.

Something similar happens in MSWindows, so this is not an artifact
specific to my desktop manager (KDE 6.3 on my case.)
