The WINDOWID variable is indeed defined, and the value I get
from my app is the same I get with printenv WINDOID. However,
when I press the button, XRaiseWindow(display, console) is not
executed, for some reason.

I have all my stuff only in this RH5.2, so what I did was to
compile statically, ftp to a friend's computer and run it.
As it is slightly dificult to test this myself at the moment,
I prepared this test with 38 lines which shows the problem.
With RH5.2 this raises and lowers the parent xterm, with RH6.0
nothing happens. I am wondering if this has something to do
with the static compilation... Would someone be so kind to
compile and run this test in Gnome, to see what happens?
