In the GConf editor, I see that there is the option metacity/sun_extensions/window_raise_on_frame_only. This looks like what I am looking for (if it actually works). It is documented to only work with 'sloppy' focus_mode. There is a stricter 'mouse' focus mode which might help with new windows commandeering the focus but requiring extra dedication from the user and possibly disabling window_raise_on_frame_only.
