It isn't a solution, but wmctrl[1] can do it. So at least there's "prior
art" showing that it can be done.

I was disappointed to find that right clicking on a window in the window
selector applet and in the window list applet activated the window. I
was hoping it'd open a menu with some window control options (close,
move here, show on all, etc.).

Sorry that I'm not able to be of more help.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Good powers of observation are frequently called "cynicism" by those
that don't have them.
