Yes, I use "Window focus mode: Click" in the gnome shell, and
`focus-follows-mouse' is nil.

What's strange is that the (raise-frame) in
`TeX-source-correlate-sync-source' is working fine for me (I don't even
need to switch between Evince and Emacs "by hand" initially to make it
working), but evaluating

  (progn
    (sit-for 5)
    (raise-frame))

in *scratch*, switching to some other X window and waiting a few seconds
won't raise and focus the Emacs frame.
