We have a patch for something similar in the Solaris version of GNOME-- a gconf key which, if set, causes windows only to raise if you click the frame rather than the contents. Ours only applies in focus-follows-mouse mode though-- i.e. it fixes bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86108. However the metacity maintainers closed this as NOTABUG, so I guess you won't be seeing it upstream anytime soon...
