After seeing the responses to this I wonder if I have missed something, 
but...

This sounds like a job for the desktop environment to handle. 

What desktop do you use??

On KDE and Windows (at least) 'alt-TAB' will allow you to maximize and/or
bring-to-front another window. On various Solaris desktops the 'front' and
'open' keys on the Sun keyboard handle those operations.

Maybe something similar applies for your desktop.
