What is "the opposite?"

I have the same problem. It's peculiar to Chrome, and seems to depend
-- to some degree -- on what site I'm browsing. It can make Chrome
unusable for a time.
ISTM other threads discussing the problem determined that it depended
on what other applications were running. I haven't had the patience to
shut down all other applications to see if Just XQuartz and Chrome can
coexist peacefully.
I don't see how an X client could cause the X server to bring all
windows in front, which is what happens. I don't see how the
initialization mechanism -- like startx -- could matter. It's pretty
clearly a bug in XQuartz, by definition, because it shouldn't behave
that way.
FWIW, I'm using 10.11.6 and XQuartz 2.7.11. The problem has existed
for years, across several versions of both the OS and XQuartz.
