+The function is called after `TeX-source-correlate-sync-source'

+`TeX-source-correlate-sync-source' already calls `raise-frame',
+however, depending on window manager and focus stealing policies,
+it might very well be that Emacs doesn't pop into the foreground.
+So you can do whatever it takes here.

+For some users, `x-focus-frame' does the trick. For some
+users (on GNOME 3.20),
+
+ (lambda ()

+raise the Emacs frame like so:

+ \"wmctrl\" nil nil nil \"-i\" \"-R\"
