False alarm, it seems...  *frowns*  Not sure what happened, really.

Anyhow, it appears that certain window flags have to be set after the window has been shown.  The 
documentation doesn't mention that terribly clearly...

Anyhow, forcing a couple extra window flags along with the urgency hint seemed to do the trick.  It now 
un-skips the taskbar and pager, raises the window (and doesn't lower it, just to be sure).  The result is 
that the taskbar icon and the window now appear and flashes at me quite happily.


This is being an arcane art of the highest order...  Methinks...  :)
