bring-to-front and send-to-back not working for some apps

[Paul Smith]

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 23.04, a number of my applications have stopped accepting bring-to-front (right click on the title bar) and send-to-back (middle click on the title bar). On the other hand, other apps (native Gnome apps seemingly) do still seem to work. Note I'm using X11 not Wayland.

A set of apps I know do not work anymore, that used to work with Ubuntu 22.10 and below:
* xterm
* Emacs
* Chrome
* Slack
* Spotify
* VirtualBox manager

Some apps that do still work:
* Remmina
* File Manager
* gnome-terminal
* Gnome Settings
* Ubuntu Software

There are many more in both categories.

Please fix things so that I can use bring-to-front and send-to-back on all my apps again. Thanks!
