@unwesen; thanks for your detailed bug report!

Marked 'opinion' because the official Ubuntu pattern for surfacing alerts is to use the indicators and/or the notification system (while will be enhanced during the 12.10 cycle). Agreed with your comment regarding the difficulties of improving the integration of Skype's default client, but skypekit + custom linux front ends seems to be the future.

However also note that if a window is issuing an alert, clicking on the application's launcher icon or selecting the app icon in alt-tab should always bring the window issuing the alert to the front of the z-stack (the alert overrides raising of the 'last focused window')
