          <short>Whether raising should be a side-effect of other user
                 interactions</short>

-           Setting this option to false can lead to buggy behavior, so
-           users are strongly discouraged from changing it from the default
-           of true.
-
-           Many actions (e.g. clicking in the client area, moving or
-           resizing the window) normally raise the window as a
-           side-effect. Set this option to false to decouple raising from
-           other user actions.  Even when this option is false, windows can
-           still be raised by an alt-left-click anywhere on the window, a
-           normal click on the window decorations, or by special messages
-           from pagers, such as activation requests from tasklist applets.
-           This option is currently disabled in click-to-focus mode.
-
-           Note that the list of ways to raise windows when raise_on_click
-           is false does not include programmatic requests from
-           applications to raise windows; such requests will be ignored
-           regardless of the reason for the request.  If you are an
-           application developer and have a user complaining that your
-           application does not work with this setting disabled, tell them
-           it is _their_ fault for breaking their window manager and that
-           they need to change this option back to true or live with the
-           bug they requested.  See also
