My autoraise is currently commented out, ie:

#AutoRaise 750

No worries and no annoying (IMHO) raising.

To answer the person who asked about how to go about raising the window without using the middle key menu, you can bind a function to the mouse or a key combination to do it.  For example, I have the following functions (I think they are defaults):

Function "Move-or-Raise"
 Move            "Motion"
 Raise           "Motion"
 Raise           "Click"
 Iconify      "DoubleClick" 
EndFunction

Function "Resize-or-Raise"
 Resize          "Motion"
 Raise           "Motion"
 Raise           "Click"
 RaiseLower      "DoubleClick"
EndFunction

and they are bound to:

Mouse 1         FS     A       Function "Resize-or-Raise"
Mouse 1         T       A       Function "Move-or-Raise"

(mouse 1 on frame (FS)  or title (T) in combination with any (A) key will
raise the window.)

I am pretty sure you should be able to just use the Raise command and
not even bother with the functions if you want.  Could probably even
bind a key on the keyboard to do it...this is just the way I do I've
done it since twm...
