			XMapRaised(dpy, win);
}
That, stolen from wmctrl, works.

This snippet below gets the topmost window. You have two choices here: You can use _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW which will always return you the ID of any window on the screen, or you can use _MB_CURRENT_APP_WINDOW which returns 0x0 if the focus is on the desktop/dashboard.

Code:
static Window get_topmost_window (void)
{
    Atom realtype;
    int format;
    unsigned long nitems;
    unsigned long b_after;
    unsigned char *prop;
    int xpropertyerr;
    Window win = (Window) 0;

    xpropertyerr = XGetWindowProperty (dpy, DefaultRootWindow (dpy), XInternAtom (dpy, "_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW", False), 0L, (~0L), False, XA_WINDOW, &realtype, &format, &nitems, &b_after, &prop);

    if (!(xpropertyerr == Success && realtype == XA_WINDOW && format == 32 && nitems == 1 && prop != NULL))
		exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

    win = *((Window *) prop);

    XFree (prop);

    return win;
}
If you could get it to return to the last activated window, it would be nice.
