I wonder if what's needed is a little X11 client app that runs alongside
the window manager that would enforce this. If the stacking order changes,
then tell all X windows to raise. That way it would work with all window
managers. I'm sure there's an event it could listen for if the stacking
order didn't change, but the topmost window was brought to the front of the
native window system. Maybe just "Expose".

I agree.
Personally, I would hate it if all my X11 windows raised when one was
raised. I'm trying not to think about the environment my windows are in,
and instead think about the applications themselves. If I want to use the
Gimp, I want the Gimp to raise, not all of my xterms and acroread and,
and...
Just FYI, OroborOSX has the option of doing it either way. It's called
"Interleave" mode when not all windows raise..
